Movement was serviced last year. One owner who is a friend. Box, papers, and original purchase receipt. I paid 3k. Im absolutely obsessed with my first Omega. Just curious how I did on value.

Not super cheap but not bad at all, and the 2254.50 is a fantastic watch, one of the most beloved of that era. If you have no service history it might be worth getting a quick service done by a local independent watchmaker, the Cal 1120 is an extremely accurate and dependable workhorse but it deserves to have fresh lubrication to prevent metal on metal wear.

Also have the seals changed and a pressure test done before getting it wet as they could be old and cracked.

If you take good care of it, these watches are built to last forever and will end up serving your kids and grandkids one day.

Paying a bit more for condition and known provenance plus the extras makes sense to me. If every watch has to be a bargain you’ll miss out on some great ones.
Lovely watch congrats

I just look at how sharp those lug twists are and know this is a very nice example. Congrats!

Enjoy the watch ! Nice condition. MUCH thinner that the later divers. Love to get one but they're not found in my local Toronto market.
