路Hello,
Although I am already 51 years old, I am new to vintage watches and kindly ask for advise.
I recently was given my grandfather's Omega which he had on his wrist every day for 45 years. It was bought 1970 and clearly shows its age (see photo below). 馃榾
This got me interested in vintage Omegas and I found one to my liking on Chrono24. It is a Seamaster Ref. 2848 with caliber 491 from 1954.

From what I read online this (non-bumper) movement was already used in 1954 Omega watches. But I am wondering if a 68 year old dial can look this good without having had a makeover. What do you think?
I would highly appreciate if someone with more knowledge than me could have a look at the watch and tell me his/her thoughts. Is there anything "off" with this watch that should keep me from buying (for that price)?
Thanks a lot
Best
Christoph
