I think the watch stopping had something to do with the shock of closing the caseback but of course I don't know that for sure. Thanks for clarification of the valuation, it makes more sense to me now. I know I paid a premium purchasing the watch from a dealer rather than sourcing it on my own through eBay or one of the sale forums. I've been wanting to buy a vintage Omega for some time now but have been hesitant because it seemed so overwhelming for a newbie. I am happy that a got a very good condition watch with original parts and a well running movement without the hassle and possible heartache of getting something I wasn't expecting. For my next one, I just might brave eBay after spending some time here learning.
