Hi everyone,
First of all, apologies for all my questions, just pretty excited about all the offerings. I am able to buy this Seamaster with box and papers for €175. The pictures are pretty bad and I do not have pictures of the movement. Do you guys think it's worth the risk?

Sorry I did not write more. The watch to me seems like exactly like Omega made it back in 1960. Hands seem ok, dial also ok.. Movement,... it should be the 600.... If everything matches you got yourself a steal there. But lets wait for the more experienced users here.

I f you don't I will 😀
If he doesn't 50,000 members of Omega Forums will fight over it.

Wait! Is it still in Chipping Norton? I'll be there tomorrow.

Hmm, yes you are right. I probably should be careful with this one.

Haha, well it is listed on a site and I am in contact with the seller. But if I hear all this, maybe it is too good to be true.. The seller seems a bit dodgy now that I think of it

Judging by the info we have so far that does not look like a dodgy watch.

They only issues here (which we can't tell without further information) would be either that the watch is not functioning (which can be easily verified and if the transaction is done via a website there might be safety nets for such situations and you'd get your money back) or the movement inside is either a franken or a different one.

Given that it's not that easy to swap a genuine movement with a cheap piece of crap then at most it can be a franken. Given that there's a box, papers and period correct vintage bracelet, I highly doubt that it's more than just a fully legit watch, in and out.

Your choice.

Sounds like too good to be true... just make sure seller is legit.

I "bought" a watch on Etsy that turned out to be a scam. I did get refunded, at least.

The box alone is worth €175. Even if the movement needs a service you're in for a steal.

Go for it, take care of it, enjoy it, DON'T WEAR IT SWIMMING 😉

Probably a scam, but worth pursuing just in case.
