·Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well!
I’d like some help in evaluating a potential purchase. It’s an Omega 2846 SC with a black dial, offered on a local online platform. I can go to see and pick it up in person, but it’s a two-hour drive each way, so I want to assess a couple of issue before jumping into the car. The asking price is 850 euros (about 890 dollars), possibly slightly negotiable, last service 5-6 month ago. Pics are from the listing, along with some extras I asked for, not all are great.
My main concern is the lack of lume on the indexes, whereas there should be some, given the presence on the hands and based on other models I’ve looked at—am I correct about that?
The other point is the plexi that seems not to be original and accentuates the curvature of the dial at the edges, so the “Swiss Made” marking is barely visible.
Of course, I’m very much attracted by the beefy lugs and the good preservation of the black dial (the sort of concentric marks visible in some photos are actually on the plexi and not on the dial).
Any opinions or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance and have a great day!
