·After a bit more research into pricing, I think my ask was too high. Now asking a much more reasonable $800.
Dial: Stunning and appears nearly flawless when viewing from straight on. I have shown it in different angles and lighting to outline the scrapes in the lacquer that go down to the gilt. These are at the bottom of the dial and are easily seen under high magnification and the right angle. They literally disappear when viewed with naked eye. There are two small scrapes near the hand stack which can be seen under loupe and at different angles, one at 9:00 the other at 5:30. They can be seen with naked eye, but are tiny, and are greatly amplified int the pics, and in no way detract from the appearance of this dial. Lume plots intact. Lacquer loss noted at periphery of dial at 9:00 through 12:00. I guarantee this is invisible unless you are using loupe at the correct angle. All in all a simply gorgeous dial whose flaws are exaggerated in my pics..
As most of you who I've traded with in the past know, I like to exaggerate flaws so you are pleasantly surprised. Hence the "warts-and-all" photos.
Hands: some oxidation, but pretty good overall.
Case: Chamfers are sharp. Plenty of superficial scuffing but nothing egregious. Crown appears original. Crystal probably a replacement as I cannot find the Omega logo in the center.
Movement: as pictured with plating loss. Watch has been on my wrist for two hours today and is keeping reasonable time. I would definitely send this one for service prior to regular wear.
Strap: overpriced Hodinkee strap included.
Please don't hesitate to ask for more pics, etc.
Asking $800. I accept pp F+F or bank wire. Fedex/Parcelpro to lower 48 is on me. Overseas will split shipping with buyer.
