I forgot to add these picture too

 

We need a price to work with you.

Are you buying or have you bought already?

 

so the seller listed this watch for 855 AUD and I offered him the watch for 730 AUD. but no transaction has been made

 

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.

 

welcome

 

thanks! I am hoping to learn more about watches here

 

Price 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.

 

thanks for your suggestion!

 

good piece to start collecting, cal565, same caliber with sm300. iow, it's reliable and dependable 3-digit vintage omega caliber.

 

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.

 

Again, thanks for your information . So I live in Sydney,New South Wales and also for the watch service, do I go straight to the Omega store or do I go to other shop such as vintage watch dealer ? sorry for my bad knowledge ahahahaha

 

Don'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 )

 

Oh wow okay, thanks a lot!

 

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.
