    Hi
    I am very adicted to buy an vintage omega, recently I am offered an Seamaster with the following info:
    series:2828-8 sc
    caliber no: 471

    And the pictures: (I tried to ask for a better photos, but it seemed that the seller was so lawy and just took with smartphone)

    I have checked with the omega database, the watch seems to be genuine for me, but I am a noob in this field

    can you please tell me if it is genuine and worth to buy it 450 EUR?

    Thanks so much

    Best regards

    Pham

    Generally looks OK - keeping in mind that I only know enough about these to be a danger to myself and others.

    I'd want a better picture of the dial, which appears to be guilloche.

    IMO, that price is in the right range. You'd be taking some chance on this one without better pics & more expert advice.

    Thank Darlingboy, I so appreciate your comments

    Because the seller lives far away from my place, I have to decide whether I should go to see it or not.

    The dial looks like it had been repainted.

    Dial refinished.

    Note this is a mid-size watch, only 32-mm.

    Price about $200 high considering the dial and size.

    Thanks all

    So I should run away, 450 EUR seem to be expensive
