Solid 35mm piece. Keep in mind you will have to buy a strap.
Your call if you can live with the patina on the dial for 500.
I offered the watch to OP for ~$450 USD, which includes a new leather strap that is pictured in the photos that were subsequently added to the listing.
I’ll extend this offer to other members.

Hey there! As someone who’s from Vancouver island I can say the watch community here is extremely small, which really sucks for us.. However that doesn’t mean you can’t find cool things.
Everyone’s advice here is quite accurate; at $500 CAD you might want to stay away from Omega. Not only do you risk a redial, but a movement that needs servicing would kill you. I remember buying my neo-vintage Moonwatch after selling my perfectly good Speedmaster reduced and did not account for servicing budget.. Rookie mistake!
If you can up the budget a bit there’s a few Seamaster bumpers from Seattle with some patina on the dial in the private sales section I’ve been looking at myself! You’d be wise to snap one of those up if it’s in the budget. And who knows... If you do a F2F meetup maybe they’ll cut you a deal
For more personal advice, I’d say buy exactly what you want the first time, you’ll laugh in the long run. I should have done that with a lot of my watches.. And now I sit on a few too many to wear and need to sell some!
Happy searching

FYI for a recently serviced watch with shipping in this is a really honest way to get into the collecting world!
