I'm considering this one but would appreciate some opinions regarding authenticity but also condition. The dial looks very clean, Omega logo on the crystal, decagonal crown, the bracelet has the "11" stamped on the end links (which I thought was a bit more Seamaster), the lugs perhaps a bit over polished, the medalion a bit poorly defined (is that just wear). Seems very 'neat' although no photos of the movement. Seller is a private seller in the UK.
Thanks!

I don't love to see "highly prepped" dealer-watches like these, I'd rather find something more honest from an owner. But it is what it is, and if you want to buy from a professional seller on C24, this is mostly what you'll find.

The case is pretty soft overall, but if you're not accustomed to the look of sharp lugs, maybe it doesn't bother you. The case-back might be the thing that's hardest to tolerate. There should be eight highly distinct stars, and a sharp edge defining the step.

And.....it appears someone polished away an inscription on the bucket, the feet of the Omega sign should be distinct, also.

Highly manipulated pictures and light.

Seriously over polished. What is asking price.

£2,600 which to me sounds a lot unless absolutely bob on.

Yes. Massively overpriced. Time to move on.

Try to find one like this or better, it’s in decent condition
(At less than half of asking price on your post )
