So this is a first post for me.
Looking for a Ranchero as a first vintage Omega and found this.

Anybody have any comments on this or Does it look like a good buy? Planning to keep this for a long time.

Crown and glas replaced

Thanks in advance for any help

Use the search function for a thread on Ranchero dials. These are so frequently faked that, I have given up on ever owning one.

Welcome to OF. It is often recommended to read “learn how to fish” and the other sticky threads (depending on your level of knowledge). Check out the posting guide as well https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-omega-posting-guide.383/. Photos instead of links are greatly appreciated - both for historical record and future knowledge, and because links are a bit annoying 😉 good hunting!

Ok guys, Thank you and lets try this again.

Have Read the threads and IMO the dial looks original, but of course, as a guy new to this its hard to tell.

Here are some pictures, lets hear what you think.

Asking price is 3000 euros on chrono24, so i have not seen it irl

Does 300 euros seem rather low to you?

I was quoting @EDavidjohansson . It has since been corrected (as he stated).

The dial appears original, but quite strongly/badly patinated.
In general, the Ranchero is a very nice piece for a vintage collection.
IMO, the dial and the hands are the most valable part of the watch, all other things can easily be replaced (except the crown ;-) ) at rather moderate cost and ofter even in NOS condition. Getting a good dial is really hard, and if there is one offered, it will likely be sold at 1200EUR.
Personally, I would rather go for a nicer one - although it might be more expensive.
The one you spotted appears to be one, which is on Chrono24 since I have been watching Rancheros, and that is a very long time now ;-)))
