I like the dial. Is there something different about the movement? The photo shows 2 Omega logos. Since I'm still in the learning process, with a giant curve, I'm just not sure about it. Plus I don't see the serial number.

No problems with the movement - that's how its supposed to look like.

Thanks, I just wasn't sure.

Couple of questions:
- the cross hair doesn't seem to go through the middle of the Omega logo
- I though crosshairs should go through the downstroke of the E in OMEGA?
This doesn't.

Crosshair typically goes through the right of the spine of the the letter E. That is an original dial with patina in that watch.

I'm going to throw one in here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261113422601?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I like this watch, except I'd never wear it. I know this because I've owned a half dozen vintage divers over the years, including a SWEET blue dialed Aquadive. The purchase is fun but the dew evaporates off the lily quickly so I'm passing it on to you nuts. I even had Mike take a look. It's a nice wearable watch that won't go as high as the premium vintage Omega divers so have at it guys!

I put in a cheeky bid on my phone while I was out, but got slightly outbid. Did anyone here get it ?

Wasn't me, despite liking it. That would only end up being one more watch I'd have to flip when it came down to the end game.

At least you have the end game in sight 😀. It's quite a way off for most of us 😁

True (I hope). I remember what I was like the first few years - all over the map, buying whatever I had the spare cash to grab, just like most new(er) to the hobby. Tons of fun! Now I'm at the point where I want to downsize the quantity and raise the quality. The Most Wanted list has been seriously pared down. So has the Target of Opportunity list.

Of course, an 18ct white gold Conquest Power Reserve is still something I'd rob Peter to pay Paul for. 😉

Yep, the dial is 30 to 40% of the value of the watch. Other parts can be found easier than a mint dial.

I bid. But was hoping it would go under $1000. I love the blue dial, but would be happier with a 300m if I can find one for under $2k.

I'm still undecided, but getting closer, on the direction to take. Right now, I am certain to stay with vintage Omega. It's been a lot of fun being all over the map, but I can now see a couple pieces that may be flipped, as I dial down to a more selective segment of the Omega brand.
