Greetings again,

Take a look at this Seamster 600, to me it looks pretty nice, doesn't seem too polished and claims original dial. All for (I think) a reasonable price. Is there anything about it that sets off red flags to the experts here? The only negative I see is the back Seamaster text a couple of letters seem very worn.

And regarding the seller, Tim Mackrain i.e. Omega Addict. Has anyone had dealings with him previous, positive or negative? I see his watches come with a "lifetime warranty." Return the watch every 3 years and for $95 he will do a service to keep the warranty effective. Is there any value to this or is it just a revenue maker for him?

Thanks for reading and hopefully commenting.

I have never had any dealings with him but the one thing that always stood out about his watches it that they always seem over-polished. They may not be but that's my perception and has put me off buying one of his watches.

 

Pictures?

and most of them, with refinished dials

I'm no expert and can't give assurance by just looking at pics, but this one appears a refinished dial..

 

No red flags, the guy is rock-solid at what he does. If you don't mind restored dials, new hands, new (non-Omega) crystals and heavy polishing (all of which he describes), he has some nice-looking watches.

 

Those hands... not on that watch.... that alone turns me off... but that's just me.

 

Damn this site lol. Just when I'm looking at a watch that to me looks nice I learn to spot its flaws, especially when I find the same model with the original hands. Now it looks like it's wearing high waters.

Ouch. That crown looks out of place, too.
