Newbie in vintage watches seeks advice

Hi

I am thinking of purchasing the attached for 600eur.
Omega jumbo 266 cal 2505-7.
I have been told that dial hands and movement are original, crown is original and backs is original.

Thank you for your contribution.

Good thing you were told so - for us it’s hard to judge, given the lack of any pictures from the front. 😉 Only thing I can tell you from what you posted is that whoever owned it before didn’t seem to have treated it particularly well.

You need to add proper photos but from what you have posted I would say you should avoid this watch. Look at this crack

I think I wouldnt have rated this condition "good". The water damage alone on the dial near the crown. Also, the second hand looks a little long for the crosshairs, polished case... Avoid this one.

In this condition I don't think it's worth anywhere near the asking price.

With these pictures : no way. That case looks awful....you need close ups from the metal damage .

There seems to be a gap at the 2 o'clock position. I dont think it's reflection.

Would explain the stains there.
