Hello!
I am new on this forum. I am from Greece and I love old Omega watches.
My dream was always to buy an old 60’s 70’s Seamaster.
I managed after many years to buy this one.
Except from the leather strap, is it an original Seamaster? When I bought it, it had a bracelet on it which I changed it with this strap.
Thank you my friends in advance.

Yes, it is original, it does look like the case has been polished and it would be a good idea to have it serviced by a competent, independent watchmaker.

Thank you very much! I bought it without having any idea about fake Omegas..
Then I saw all these fakes at this forum and I got worried...

When it is stated "polished" , it is meant severely over polished, affecting the shape of the case. There are some service providers that can mitigate some of the damage.

I didn’t know that, thank you very much for this information.

Does anyone know if this bracelet was original to this Seamaster, or is it a fake?
Does this watch had a leather strap originally?
Many thanks

What do you think guys, is it a redial?
Thanks!

That's likely the most destructive polishing job I have ever seen. Such a shame, too, the dial and movement look to be in fantastic condition. I've seen Omega cases on eBay, if it's a fair price perhaps this is an option.

I bought it for +/- €400, shipping and customs included. Is it an OK price, or was it expensive?
I am very sad to learn that the case has been damaged... 🙁
Do you know how was it originally? Do you have any pictures?
Thanks a lot for the information!
