Is this a good deal for an Omega watch?

Thank you! Than you have a luck with your IWC. His Omegas don't looks so good. But what about $200? I'm confused. Do I wrong?
The Geneves can be had around $200, I've bought half a dozen of them in the 200-250 USD range that were clean good watches and had them serviced as cheap first pieces for friends that wanted to get into a vintage mechanical watch but didn't want to spend a great deal of money until they were sure it was for them.

They are IMO currently undervalued (though not by a large amount) by the market and great value but that doesn't mean you should overpay for them, there is a huge supply of them relative to earlier and more desirable models due to their unusually good water resistance and durable case designs.

Find me a good condition Seamaster\Geneve for $200 and I'll get you a personal commission of $200. 😉

Anyway, would appreciate your opinion on the second watch I uploaded (which btw priced at $350)

Good explanation, very informative.
Thank you!

Just as an example, this one went a couple of weeks ago for $230, if you're patient you'll find a great deal on one and don't need to pay anyone a commission.
