Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for helping me on this.
Im considering buying this Omega Seamaster Automatic vintage 14770 SC-61.

It has just been serviced but the price will be app. 1,300 dollars, so want to be sure its not a redial (or any other showstoppers questioning its worth).

Appreciate your input on this!

Thank you.
Malthe

Any movement photos? Caseback photos?

Nothing jumps out to indicate a redial. But the price does not seem like a bargain.

What is the case material? The dial looks good, but also the price isn't that fantastic.

Thanks guys. No movement photos available at this moment - only attached extras here. Not sure if they provide you with anything additional…

Nice watch but I’d say overpriced by around 500. Is it serviced?

Maybe $700-$800, not $1,300.

Does it come with a receipt and warranty for the service?

Those appear to be reflections on the tension ring.

Does look like it's got the original crystal I think I can see the engraving on the first picture

Nice example, but overpriced. Does the service paperwork state exactly what was done?

For 1300 clams you should insist on a few well-lit, clearly-focused movement and inside caseback pictures. You want to make sure that the movement hasn't been swapped out (that is, that the movement serial is in the correct range for a watch from 1961 and is the the expected caliber), that the movement is clean and the regulator is in a neutral position (which it should be, after a service), and that the caseback is correct.
