Makesbelieve
·Good morning lovely people of OF.
I have been offered this Omega Seamaster - Anakin Skywalker 1970s Ref: 145-023 and was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at it and share any insights, observations, or warnings about the beast.
The owner is asking $5000 USD for the watch and says that it belonged to his recently deceased father who purchased it new in Singapore in the early 70s. For the last 35 years his father has had it sitting in a sock draw...
The photos aren't great, but I did manage to get the new owner to take it to a watch maker to remove the case back. It looks to be scratch free which isn't a surprise given the invincible material it's made from but there does seem to be a very small bit of damage to the tachymetre at 7 o'clock. Given its comfy life spent in the sock draw the watch obviously hasn't been serviced recently but the new owner did say that it was running beautifully.
That's about all I know.
What do you all think of the condition of the watch, the requested price, and are there any gotchas in respects to this reference that I should be aware of.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
