Is it smart to buy this watch?

[Omer.brt]

Hi, I'm hesitating wether to buy this omega watch, because I'm not an expert in watches. It's a omega Genève 132.019 from the year 1964. The price is 300 euro after negotiations. It is a manual cal 611. It comes with the original box. It has been to a watchmaker last week and it works perfect. Here are the pictures of the watch. Do you think it's smart to buy this watch for 300 Euro's? Thank you in avance.

Not for me.

The dial is worn, tired and unattractive, the buckle is fake and if I’m not mistaken these are the smaller 33mm versions.
Much better to add another 100 or so, be patient and get a much better example.

Steel hands and gold indices...?

I would not buy this and hope that the service was done after the pictures were taken, as it does not appear particularly clean. The overall condition is something you might not mind in the "honeymoon phase", but it is very likely to start bothering you more and more over time. I would advise you to hold out for a better example. At this budget it should be not hard to find.

Run away! The dial has damage, the hands are incorrect, the buckle is fake.

Buying that watch would be an unwise choice, but subscribing to this thread would be smart:

Hard pass. Nothing about this watch to recommend.
