Congrats. To get a better answer, you may have to narrow your question(s) down a bit. How did you do in what respect?

The answer is: And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

Work this is ok, because the price was right for me and money left for a service, got a period bracelet already.

Question is actually, what do you guys think of this watch, I can handle negative comments, personally I like the bezel.

What do you expect from hand-held taken pictures?
And : yes the bezel is nice.

Wanted to buy a birth year watch and yes, I know it’s probably not going to be a real 1974 serial but I will settle for the 74 caseback😉

It all depends on the price.

I like the bezel and the case seems like it might be good. But, the dial appears to have strange damage/staining in the lower half.

nice bezel but no lume on hands- 4me OK, but the "melting south-pole" of the dial... IMO no consistant patina

I all saw that and took that in consideration with the price I would pay for it. I will see when the mailman delivers it. For now it’s a waiting game…

Nice case and bezel. Dial and hands seems rough…i’d factor in $1k for those plus the cost of the bracelet and the movement service.

At this moment I will not reveal the price of purchase, the service will be done by an omega certified professional 10 km from my hometown, bracelet is already at home for les than $200.
I think(hope) I’m gonna be fine…
Anyway gonna be my birth year watch so if I have to throw some extra € it’s gonna be fine

That is all that matters, you landed your birthyear watch and if you are happy we are happy. From these pictures and the above comments you did good if it was no more then € 2500,- imo
