Agreed.
25 years ago, it was the right price.
Can you get a photo of the extract?
Are you both in Europe? Face to face transaction would be best.

 

Make sure the seller takes PayPal, even if you have to add the fees. If the payment is by wire only that would raise another red flag.

 

That’s most likely a bait.
If seller is advanced enough to create a sale; take semi-professional photos and owns an extract, he/she knows what’s the watch is worth.
proceed w extreme caution.

 

Hi the seller just sent me this pic of the extract. Thanks again to everyone.

 

Too good to be true...
My guts say it's a scam.

 

This watch is a well known example. Issue no. #225
Last discussed here on OF in 2019, were it traded a couple of times in auctions.

Be very careful, and please post a link to the sellers add if public

 

Hi yes both in Europe… however I am in Austria and the watch in the UK…. It is manageable. Let’s see how it goes. Thanks for feedback and see pic of extract below.

 

Looking at the pictures from the previous thread, not the obscure, off-centre ones from here, it looks all correct and in great condition to me.
It may seem cheap to some, unfortunately the market greatly prefers the T dialled models.
That may change in which case this would be a good gamble.
I particularly like the correctly centred last line of engraving, missing the /A which would knock it then off-centre.
(/A being for an official Omega /MOD change to screw down crown)

 

If this is real, buy it. But be careful and try to do some research on the seller since it’s almost to good to be true.

 

As mentioned previously there’s no way a seller would order an extract without researching the value. Tread carefully!

 

Just ask him for some current pictures of the watch, rather than the ones he has reused from the previous thread on this watch. My bet is that he can’t. Walk away.

 

Exact, ask him a photo with your name on a paper or something special.
Or find someone in the UK to buy it nd send it to you.

But it seems a little weird...
