    (I'm not)

    I'd buy this for 500 - 600 bucks all day long

    Really nice omega bumper
    Wadsworth made beautiful watch cases and this is no exception
    I wonder if it'll go for under 600?

    I don't know. That dial looks refinished...

    I agree, hardly an expert but looks off to me

    Hmmm, I don't know this model well enough to know any better but the seller is a reputable guy and he says it's original and not re-finished. Drama! Lol

    Strange. The seller seems like an honest guy - if you look through his eBay listings and feedback he seems to know his stuff and he's honest in his descriptions.

    He's got excellent feedback, etc., etc. I don't really believe in honest mistakes when it come to people selling old anything but maybe he really believes this is an original, non-repainted dial as he claims?

    Does his description leave some dishonest wiggle room?

    It's funny - I can see any re-finished Rolex dial from a mile away. I've never been fooled, not once. But, Omega gets me all the time lol
    Luckily, I've never been burned. That's why I count on you guys :)

    Sorry but I would also rate it a redial. The spacing and alignment of the fonts are not very good and the details is just too uneven.

    No need to be sorry - no skin off my back.

    Way back, in the very back of my mind, I had a feeling something wasn't right. It would sell in a minute @ that that price, right?

    Most likely.
    The bay is overfished and over-monitored. Especially if you look at Omega and other "big brands". With some few exceptions I tend to purchase only parts and straps there these days.
