Would not be my first choice to start a collection. Here's why: 1. The cal. 1021 is a decent movement, but not one of Omega's best efforts. By the mid-1970's, when this watch was made, Omega was more focused on developing their quartz movements (as was all the other Swiss watch comapnies). There was a lot of cost-cutting going on in the construction of this generation of mechanicals. 2. Watch is coming from Singapore. That's on my list of countries to be concerned about fakes and frankenwatches. 3. Color of the dial is odd. By this time, Omega was making a lot of odd colored dials, but I always worry about those colors other than the traditional white, off-white and black, I just don't have enough knowledge of what colors were and were not coming out of Bienne at this time. 4. What's up with that rotor? That's going to have to be replaced. I think you can do better, gatorcpa
