Probably, but it was on hold already before my first contact with the seller. Anyway I think in this kind of purchase rushing isn't always the best choice and this is particularly true for newbie like me .
You'll have to answer more posts from me 😀

Slowing down is a good idea as you need to be able to differentiate between good condition watches and not so good condition watches, plus the difference between references (date/ no date, SS/ gold cap) and how these things affect value.

I just bought the watch.
Let's see if I am going to receive a good Omega watch or a stone ...or nothing😀

Watch on the way. I should receive it on Monday.
The seller told me that he had to pay an extra for shipping, using a faster method because of Covid pandemia. I offered to pay the extra but he refused. He told me that he added an extra strap, for me.
Meanwhile, I received the FedEx bill for the taxes. The total watch price will be 1000 euro / 1200 dollar.
If everything will be ok I have to be thankful to all of you without you I never ever would have had the courage to buy it.

Watch arrived today.
It is awesome, much much beautiful in real than in photo !. The seller was great and gift me an extra handmade leather strap.
The watch cost me 1000 euro comprehensive of duty fee and shipping
I have to thank you all. Without your help, I never ever would have the bravery to buy the watch, and maybe I would have ended buying an overpriced repainted over smoothed watch.
So THANK YOU all!

Excellent work. Timing is certainly important, but persistence helps.
