There are two sorts of these bracelets, one with fixed length (minus wear and tear) and one with springs in the links intended to expand to fit over a diver's wet-suit or military pilot's Nomex flying-suit. The springs are, to put it plainly, crap and break often. A tight bracelet of either type is good, the fixed-length ones are subject to wear in use that loosens them off, but it's a different sort of looseness.
Broken spring example....

·I love finds like this. Take you time deciding what to do. If you're going to keep it, someone like WatchGuy, Mitka or Simon Freese would be a great shout for servicing. If you're going to sell, just do so as is. Servicing may actually decrease the value (personally, if pay more for unserviced, in as-found condition).
I'm just getting into Seiko as a new addition to the family means I'll have less to thrown at Omegas for a while.
I've had an SKX009J for a year or so and just looking at getting another to mod. I'd also like to try and source one of the new SZSB006 models.

·A GF bracelet as I suspected 😀
As others have pointed out, it's a pretty nice score - big congrats from here 👍
I found a £2.50 Seiko 6105-8110 earlier this year which was my first real flea market find, happy to see others doing even better!

·Just for info, a service can be anywhere between $200-600 depending on where you take it or what parts may be needed. If I were inclined to keep it, I would take it a vintage Omega expert (in the U.K. Simon Freese is one of the known experts) and eat the cost. If you are into watches, this would be a great addition to a permanent collection.
As much as I would like to keep its unlikely i will be paying for the required service. I'm advised it will be £200 plus depending if any parts are required. It will re- sold to someone who will appreciate it. Will be on Ebay Auction soon!! Start price £1!!!

·So guys place your bets !!
I’m guessing it’s around a 33mm case size. Nice watch, cool black dial, GF bracelet, service required.... £505
