    I was thinking of buying this Omega Suverän

    seller is asking 350 euros, and i dont know if the watch is worth it.

    Looks good to me, but im no expert in vintage watches, i just love the way it looks.

    -Tony

    any help, or notions will be appreciated View attachment 698279 View attachment 698280

    Do you have more photos, including the back, movement, and inside?

    here is a picture from the back. sadly they didn't include any pictures from the movement, but i have a feeling that i'ts well maintained.
    the watch is auctioned by well respected company, and they usually tell if there are problems with the movement.
    but still, no pictures so i cant be sure about that. luckily i could return the watch if it doesnt meet the expectations.

    I have to assume this is a redial, or a ‘touch up’ at the least.

    It’s constantly amazing to me how much a blown up photo can show!

    For value, check the reference # on eBay's sold listings.

    That's a great tip! Ebay is not that popular in scandinavia, so i have never really used it.

    Thank you.

    I think @airansun makes a compelling case. I am certainly no expert in this specific genre of vintage omega but 350 euros sounds like it's on the low end. If it were my wallet, I would pay more for peace of mind that what's on my wrist is the real deal.

    Watches are generally a poor investment strategy in my opinion....any amounts of money I've gained from flipping watches is usually negligible and eventually used towards new watch purchases (vicious cycle).

    Looks like a perfect example of an X to me.
