·Hello guys! First post on the forum.
I started watch collecting 1.5 years ago, until now I never paid more than 200€ for a watch.
For my first dress watch I decided to save a bit more (400€), and double my usual budget. As I was searching online I found the world of vintage omegas and I was sucked in, since march I've been searching for a vintage omega with no single model in mind all I know is that I like light coloured dials, steel case and no date.
I've read some of the posts here and I know that I should aim for condition and part originality, but at this price point some tradeoffs need to be done.
Almost a month ago I found this omega that I fell in love with, but the dial seems like and average redial(lettering and marks), the case has had a little too much polishing, replaced crown(i think) and the case back has no number. So I skipped it, but I keep checking if it has been sold almost daily.
This is a calibre 344 bumper, probably a seamaster(text should be on the dial) and probably a ck2766 from omega's vintage records.
My question is, should I just not buy it or is worth trying to get it at around 300€ and later on finding a dial?Also what is the deal with the missing reference caseback?
