·So the price I agreed to pay is $900.00 delivered. Or 850.00 plus shipping if shipping and insurance would be $50.00.
I now know a few things from everyone here; it’s an OK Watch, not a Frankenwatch, it’s overpriced and the price he’s charging for service is low.
I can find one on eBay for maybe $400.00 ish and get it serviced for maybe $250.00? In ten years or two serviced, it’ll even out.
But I’m still considering walking away but there is a certain amount of reason to this option for me.

·I think it is rather the contrary: 14390 are from the begining SC watches with a 285. Check the Omega database:
https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-seamaster-omega-ck-14390/
Thank you so much! Pepin.
I didn't aware that Omega now provides such comprehensive database of vintage models.
I have been using the vintage Bestfit catalog.
Usually it gives correct information. Especially for early models. But, not for 14390!!
Thanks again.

·Here’s something close to what I was looking at;
https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-seamaster-2937-4-35-5mm-gold-orange-patina.65777/
Btw, I do prefer a manual wind for this purchase. Is a 30mm Movement such as the 267 or 285, etc, preferred to a 601?

You are wellcome!
That may be because your catalogue associates two differente references, the 14389 with is a sub second caliber (268 according to the Omega database, but that is the same), and the 14390 with a SC. The parts your page is talking about may be the same for both calibers.

I like more the cal. 30 series, which is kind of a myth. But the 601 is a very reliable caliber as well!

What happens if he's not around for the next 10 years after purchase ( retired, shut down )
This is what $450 unserviced looks like 😉 just to give you a idea.
This is about $1000 unserviced just for a idea for pricing
Not for sale just showing you what's around if you take your time.

·Thanks.
So I have 12 posts. I only need another 188 posts to qualify to make a purchase on this forum.....🙁
But I do see I can use my Ebay feedback which is 325 all 100%... Maybe I can reach out to a moderator to get a clearance ahead of time based on that so I do not miss a good deal?
Other than that, I can look at that thread topic showing GOOD Ebay deals. One of which is the following Automatic (I know, not a manual wind but when it comes down to it, I really just want one decent example of a Vintage Omega.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Seam...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
Anyway, at this point, I'm struggling because I feel pretty bad reversing my down payment to the seller. He's had it on hold now for two weeks for me. I suppose I'll send him a message to ask for a refund and tell him to keep some money for a re listing fee since it might have been sold by now. Looking at his web site his watches go pretty darn fast!
