    It's preferred to upload the photos to Omega Forums rather than using a image hosting site, so that the images are kept around. There is an Add Photos function built in to do this.

    It looks something like this, next to the reply button. You have to upload the photos and then insert them into your message.

    Also, those photos were not great quality so you may want to take/obtain more clear photos in better lighting before making a decision (and before we can help much).

    I understand that model is obsolete. The watch has had a lot of use, and likely needs parts. Not a good buy at any price in my opinion. Rough!

    I’d swerve this one. Non-original dial, tired looking movement and the rotor bearing is knackered, hence the circular marks on the movement and case back. Going to cost more than it would be worth to get it into good order. There’s plenty better out there, keep searching.

    I don't think the watch is a fake but the dial has definitely been refinished at some point. I would definitely stay away from it. Especially as a first watch you want to make sure you have a good example. That will definitely launch your love for collecting and be a great first experience. That's my opinion.
