Agree with above, but the serial will come into consideration IF you're looking specifically for a 145.022-69 that was actually produced in 1969.
I used to own a 145.022-69 with 28426460 serial (see attached pictures) with Archive papers dating it's production to 29 Jan 1970.
So a true 1969 production watch would have to have a lower serial number than that.
Usual disclaimer regarding Omega serial numbers being non-linear applies, of course.
And most collectors are not that anal about serial numbers and production date.
My 2 cents.
