Hello OF,

I know these are not the most collectible, but I have been on a 70’s cushion case kick ever since I bought a Chronostop Geneva.

from the pictures and emails with the seller, it appears the case, movement handset and dial are correct. I believe the crystal is mineral and has been replaced. I also noticed that the clasp on the bracelet is brushed where it should be polished.

the seller says the case has not been polished, only cleaned but I lean more towards the polished side.

does any one have any experience with these and can possibly point out something I missed.

I say it's been lightly polished at some point based on the edges. See example below.

Otherwise, I don't have any concerns. Also, don't worry if these "are not the most collectible". Good on you for buying what you love!

Thanks for the feedback, I have two cushion case 70’s Omegas on my watch list, this one and a 166.088 with the diver bezel.
