Hi Guys

I saw a nice looking Vintage Seamaster 60 from the 70s in really nice condition.
As I’m not an expert on Vintage Seamaster watches I thought it could not hurt to get some feedback. According to the seller the watch is unpolished. I was wondering if all matches; or if you guys see any inconsistencies.
As well the seller is asking for about 1.5k USD for the watch. Is this a fair price for such a model in this conditions?

Thx a lot for the help!

As well, there is no service history on the watch. So as well a point to take into account

At $1.5K I'd be a buyer....but watch out, it sounds too cheap to me. A known and trustworthy seller...or a random?

Was thinking the same thing, that watch is too good to be true at that price.

Hmm, don’t know the seller. But lives nearby, so it would be possible to take a look before buying it, and picking it up personally. Otjerwhise you were as well not able to find anything wrong just looking at the pictures? Bezel, dial, crown, caseback, movement look fine and matching for me as far as I can tell.
where I’m not sure is regarding the bracelet, if that is the actual bracelet used in that time.

regarding the price I was not sure as well, as on chrono they are all in the range of 2-3k

If it's a local seller and you like it then I'd be closing a face to face deal asap. I thinks it a nice watch at a good price....few and far between these days.

Even with no bracelet that would be a good price.

Nice one, especially for that price. Seal that deal, post pictures once it's yours and get it serviced!

Here’s the bracelet list for 166.062.
End links seem correct but bracelet maybe wrong. I wouldn’t worry too much at that price.

Thx for all the inputs. Highly appreciated!
Just out of wonder, what would, in general, be a reasonable price for that reference in such a condition? To get an idea what kind of bargain I would get

It's difficult to find one under 2k. Most are between 2k and 3k (asking prices).

I have been looking at these extensively over the last few months and agree all over £2k!

I dont know why they are a bit more expensive then the 120. Personally I like the 120 way more.

I think maybe because they have a chunkier, somewhat more substantial look about them. They are also quite colourful so an affordable entry into the funky 70's sports Omegas

I must admit I've been tempted to buy one for years. I can remember a auction that ended at EUR 760-ish. I forgot about it because I was having dinner in a Spanish village called Tamariu. Still gutted. Anyway, for 2k + I've always passed. Something is holding me back. But I do like the model. Maybe one day.
