    Hi all, I have just started collecting watches and after a couple (Seiko and Junghans) I thinks it's time for me to buy an Omega.

    My eyes landed on this one, however I would like to have your view. Is it original? It is a 60's model and seems in mint conditions. Moreover, what would be a fair price for this (in case it's original)? Finally, the strap doesn't seem original as well.

    What does your own research about this one tell you?

    I found a few online that look exactly like this one, so it seems original. It should have a cal 613 and the ref is 136.017. However the seller doesn't know them and doesn't have the papers.

    I'm not seeing any lume on the dial. Lume on hands looks modern.

    As far as I can see, it's the same watch as here https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ME...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network and the description says it has a repainted dial. The weird thing is that the date is one day apart :cautious: Perhaps the seller has a little sideline and has a few of these to sell.

    You can get the winning bid from the listing. That's what it was worth to somebody. Whether that's what it's worth to you is another matter. Also, no movement pictures :(

    There's at least one dude in South Korea who does phenomenal redials.

    These vibrantly colored dials are suspect to me. Seasonally appropriate with Easter imminent, I suppose...

    Note to @Dome: If it looks new and the seller is in South Korea, there's a 99.9% chance it's a redial.

    Why didn't you ask here before you bought it?

    It looks identical to the one from South Korea that sold on eBay recently

    Spotless blue/black dial frequently means a redial.

    Polished too?

    If I could live with a redial, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for this.
