·There's no tachymetre track. Might be other problems, but that stands out to me.

·Printing just looks a tad "off" to me, but I am by no means an expert. More experienced people will chime in soon I'm sure.

It’s an elderly man who bought it from new in 1974 and still has receipt etc.

·Dial aside, it looks like there is a lot of 'gunk' around the pushers / crown, probably never cleaned / serviced since 1974, I would ask for movement pictures, could be simply dirty or worse, rusty. It could cost a lot to get running.

·Yes I noticed that too. I did a little research and maybe there were some produced without the tachymetre, perhaps making it more rare?

·Yeah, I saw some, too, and was skeptical, but this one here looks original, though different from the one you're considering.

·Yes that is what I am thinking as well. I am going to inspect it and hopefully open it up and see the movement.

·I think the dial is a repaint. Neither “OMEGA” nor “Seamaster” look correct to me and the subdials look like somebody touched up all the numbers.

·So if the dial is repainted and the watch not running. Is 3000 euros a good price?

·The dial is certainly refinished - notable tells are the wrong AML, incorrect serifs and thick print in Omega, the S in Seamaster, as well as rest of the print. Subdial numerals are also fat and not overlapping on the sloping recess. The vertical grain on dial is overdone and the spacing between the minute track and the case is too wide. Hands are also after market, thick and not elegant. Crown seems replacement and I'm inclined to think the caseback may be steel - which would imply not a solid 18K model, rather a GP/GF one. Tread carefully as this is a plentiful reference amongst the 321 non-Speedy chronos. Best if you inspect in person before parting with money.
