I would see these ones more in the 300-400 $ range especially without the no-original bracelet.

Also depends on if "good working condition" is really good working condition

The watch looks legit to me, just not one of my favorites. Only you can decide how much it's worth. If you like it, the price seems a little high, but not crazy. As you probably noticed, the last link of the bracelet fits poorly, which could be a problem because you really can't replace it. I can't tell at first glance if it's just stretched out, or it is an incorrect replacement.

I was looking for blue/green/black color dial and it was hard to find for a good price. Did not want a regular bright dial. I think this color a bit rarer and have more value than regular dial or no?

It depends on the watch, blue dials were fairly common on these Seamasters. That one is really rough with a very flogged out bracelet

If you think it’s a nice looking watch (and I agree with you) then the actual price isn’t too unreasonable.

@dsio comments on the condition of the watch but this is a lower value watch that has been worn, not a safe queen, and any well worn 50 year old watch will have age related wear.

So, I’ve been wearing this watch every day for the past three weeks, and it works very well. I haven’t needed to adjust the time during this period. The calendar and day functions work well too, and it looks even nicer in person.


Another thing - about the bracelet: I’d probably like to get the original Omega bracelet, because the one on it now is a Seiko. Could you tell me what the typical price for the bracelet would be and where I can find it?
