·Hi Omega Forums,
Just wanted some input on my recently purchased Omega Seamaster 166.010.
The watch is filthy but I believe under all that filth is a nice watch.
Case: I think the case has been polished as I can barely see the vertical brushing on the sides, however the bevels on the lugs when the watch is flipped are still quite visible and sharp. There is quite a deep scratch on the case back and some dings on the 5 o’clock lug.
Crystal: scratched, however it does have an Omega logo.
Crown: looks like the original crown to me, which is rare as I see these with the bigger ones.
Dial: hard to see because of the crystal but looks in good condition in person.
Hands: same as the dial, hard to see because of the crystal but look in good condition in person.
Movement: not running, however the hands do move when setting the time and the date does change when going past midnight or when pulling out the crown.
Bracelet: ok condition, the beads at the 12 o'clock end links are bent out of shape and need to be adjusted. Endlinks look correct with ref 11, while the bracelet is 1502 no12.
Questions to the OF’ers:
- Does the watch seem original?
- What is the OF’ers take on the condition of the watch?
- Should I change the crystal or polish the case back?
- Is the damage on the 5 o’clock lug dings or could it be pitting?
- Finally, I paid $415 USD. At this price I think it's worth the gamble but what do the OF’ers think, should I keep it or return it?
Kind regards,
Sam
