Omega 1940 1945

Hi
Today I buy my first omega
Started from a lip.
Can you tell me if 170 was too much or if my instinct were right
I will clean dial and case
It's a jumbo ?
thanks everyone
My first omega so happy but afraid I make a wrong move

I'd say a redial

The dial is probably original but in very bad condition.
Moreover, wrong an broken hands, poorly welded lug, movement missing some parts.

It’s called a noob tax. Buying something you shouldn’t have.

It’s not worth restoring. Parts from the movement might be what you paid

Sorry

Thanks for the expertise
I keep the noob tax in mind.. funny
Thanks for advice
I finally cancelled the deal.
Since I shouldn't buy then I buy something else at the flea market but missed a G.perregaux at 350 🤣

Thanks to you all
