Hi Jeppe,
while the price doesn’t seem completely absurd, I’d still consider too high, given the - in my opinion - unpleasant damage to the dial and the incorrect crown. It’s not a particularly sought-after ref and I’ve seen better examples of it sell for less on eBay in open auction.

thank you very much for reply, how much would you offer? if you even think its worth buying?

It is very small, only 31 mm. therefore not sought-after, and even less due to the damaged dial.

Save your money. It is getting harder and harder to find a decent Omega under $500 these days. Many better options out there in the sub $500 category if you consider other brands. For example:

Also, in this style look at a vintage Tissot Seastar Seven, Hamilton Thin-O-Matic . . .

Look also at private sales forum. I could barely give away a much better watch at $350...
