    I think Ashley paid near that amount for his 18ct 320.

    Ash spent quite a bit though refurbishing the watch. Plus it was a different time then and the watch was not well presented. And yes a deal but not easy to replicate, not in this era of higher vintage omega prices.

    So with this in mind is this a reasonable price then for this watch? Does everything appear original? Thank you!

    For me the case is polished and the dial could be nicer. I think $2000-2500 is an ok price for a stainless steel 320 but it has to be in better condition. I like the condition of this one better (has been listed for some time now and could probably be had for a lower than the asking price):

    Agreed, and I like that watch too. A few of us have bought from Gregg without any issues. I would think that these could be had for under $2000 without too much of a search, but will defer to the people who chase chronographs more frequently than me.

    Mine was 18K rose gold, but it was sold as 18K yellow gold in non running condition with no crown and a badly cracked crystal, I paid $2,200 for the watch then $800 for a full service, then another $240 to correct the problems that remained after the full service, so all in around $3200 including the cost of a new crown, new crystal, and two new 316L stainless pusher shafts (the factory ones are made from iron and very prone to rusting). That dial is identical to my dial too but with white gold markers rather than rose gold, I like it a lot but that's mainly because I love the vertical grain on that dial design (and mine).

    That service is on the pricey side especially given that some remediation was needed.
