Could be original. ref 168024. I wouldn't pay that much. Nice looker. Rotor may have been replaced.

Also a nice looker. Hands & bracelet are wrong. Younger. Different movt. Less common. https://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-details/15263/

lastly, frankenwatch? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-OME...709844?hash=item4b1577a554:g:8wgAAOSwsW9Y1WSE
Probably
thanks in advance!
A phrase of advice oft used here is "Buy the seller." If one item is a franken, maybe the rest are.
A proffessional seller using BIN will almost always be overpriced.
I am not an expert.

A second hand dealer. Nothing wrong with that, if he is trust worthy.
Usually with autos, 2 pics of the movt are needed to show most of what can be seen. When only one pic is posted, I get suspicious.
Watches like those are commonly FS on ebay. No need to rush. Search completed listings for past prices.
