    Hello Omegaforums

    I am looking for a Omega Seamaster 166010 and found these two on Chrono 24 from the Japanese seller eLady:

    https://www.chrono24.ch/omega/seama...utomatic-watch-166010-bf097034--id4650585.htm

    What do you think, are these two watches ok to buy or are they overpriced? I am aware that I must invest in a service as well if I buy an old watch.


    Thank you in advance.

    Regards from Switzerland
    Daniel


    PS: Somehow odd to look as a Swiss for a vintage Swiss watch in Asia, I know.

    That first one has some corrosion visible, I'd be keeping clear of that one:

    On the second one, bracelet looks very worn out, condition isn't great, and no movement photos which concerns me.

    Thank you for the quick answer. In the meantime I saw the corrision on the date window as well. Thank you for the comment concerning the bracelet and movement.

    Hi,

    I'm a learner on the site. Can you explain what you mean about the condition not being great on this one? It looks OK to me. I would like to know what I should be looking for.

    Thanks very much.
