·Hello,
Continuing on hunt for first vintage and a seller has offered me a 34mm Omega Seamaster 600, ref 135.011, 601 cal movement. States dial and crystal as original. Crown is Omega-signed, but not certain if original. Aftermarket strap/buckle. Serviced movement in past year, so runs well. Asking 600 USD.
Pictures are not fantastic but attached and would love thoughts on my analysis below! Trying to get a sense of if I'm looking at the right stuff.

My thoughts:
- 135.011 has many variants for dial, Seamaster 600 text marking lines up, isn't overly fresh
- dial has "t swiss made t" marking indicating lume. Seems to be some lume present so ok (check me!)
- no idea about crown, doesn't seem that out of place
- 601 cal movement is accurate for the watch. Seems clean
- sideways omega Seamaster caseback marking is not actually a flaw, caseback doesn't always align
- $600, if in recently serviced condition + good condition original dial + movement, is in line for market
