Omega Geneve automatic 166.070

I keep in my quest for a nice starter of my Omega collection. Grateful for your advice!!

It's a 34mm case and the vendor says that there is a small crack in the glass (original) that can be seen in one of the pictures.

How much are they asking for it?

It looks solid, so the price is what makes or breaks it. Not sure if the crystal is an original one; only on the fifth photo there's something that resembles the Omega inscription. Sourcing an original replacement will not be that cheap; just take that into account.

It's an auction, but based on other results should end up around 500e

The vendor says the crystal is original, although it has a small crack that is visible in one of the pictures (first one, between 3 and 5)

At this point the crystal needs to be replaced anyway. This reference takes a PZ5005; can't find any on eBay, but it should cost $50-100 depending on availability. A generic one would be way cheaper.

€500 is pretty much the market for these. They're selling $500-700 on C24. One in this forum sold for $500 a couple years ago.

Imho this is a good starter watch: classic design, great movement, and not breaking the bank. Not a fantastic deal, but if you like it, it doesn't matter.
