路路Melbourne Australiawhat do you guys think about this watch ?
I think it's a nice example, case is not polished, dial is original (if a bit marked), movement looks good.
is it okay ,
Yes.
is it fake,
No.
or other ?
It all depends on the price, and factor in the cost of a service (it still has the original gasket so may not have been serviced lately).
thanks in advance and have a nice day 馃榾

I'd like to buy the watch if it is all good since he listed 855 AUD, I offered him the watch for 730 AUD and I'm still waiting for his response.

路路Melbourne AustraliaPrice is a bit high for a stainless watch without any evidence of a recent servicing so I would use the marked dial and no recent service to try to get the price down to < AUD$655.

Sounds like good advice. From @JimInOz
If he won't go $655 I would say $730 would be my tap out if I was you.
Australia isn't cheap for vintage omega watches
As Jim mentioned above add in a service.
Let us know which state and we might be able to point you to a good watchmaker.

路路schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorDon't send to Omega store........
They will send it to Omega and the watch will never look the same and will cost more than the watch itself.
Stick around and search as many have made that mistake.
You want to find a watchmaker with a Omega parts account that is sympathetic to vintage servicing.
I would PM @photo500 ( a member here ) who's in Perth but does great work at ( Lewis watch something or other )
@Dre is in Sydney and may be able to help locally
( I left Sydney for the life of leisure in Darwin a while ago so been over 10 odd years since I had anything serviced in NSW )

路I'm just trying to imagine the following exchanges:
- Will you take 730?
- Ok.
- Wow thanks, how about 655?
or
- Will you take 730?
- No.
- Ok, will you take 655?
Nope, can't see either of those working out!
It's a scarce model, not especially sought-after but I like it. But I am prejudiced in favour of Seamaster Geneves.
