So besides the crystal all seems legit? What's a fair price? According to the owner the watch is serviced at Swatch Group in Bangkok

the condition .... obvious the case is polished ... crystal is not omega ..... bezel is worn .... i assume this would involve shipping and handling ? or is it included ?

No shipping or handling. Will pick it up and can also look at it before. But as you say I can probably find another in better condition

Looking for a 165.027 with 552. With your information found a fake on ebay. Thanks for all the info. Did not make a mistake.

Very informative discussion. Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but may I get some expert opinion on this 166.027 ref I found today? What makes it suspicious to me is the red sweeping hand. Is this really a 166.027 or some franken?

Appreciate the input.

Thanks guys, actually I can't see that on the photos, not the best quality ones as they're from a swiss classified site. I asked the seller to provide some better quality photos. Actually I don't really like the red seconds hand, but let's see.

he offers the watch at around $1300, it might be a bit far fetched, right?

If the hands and the lume are OK, what would be reasonable price in your opinion?

food for fodder ... consider ... except for ROLEX who does not allow their authorized dealers to reduce their MSRP .... other watch companies give their authorized dealers a little wiggle room ... to max level of 30 % ... so for example an ORIS 65 re issue can be bought 30% off MSRP if the dealer is willing to go that far [max level] start @ 30 percent off then ... 25 ... 20 ... etc ... etc
