Hi

I've been looking around for a vintage Omega watch that comes from around my year of birth (1974).

I found this on Chrono24 and would like to hear the thoughts of you good people...

Hello,

I think you could do better for the same money. I wouldn't trust any servicing claims until it can be proved. If it came on an original bracelet I might consider it but I would pass.

Depends on what “better” means for the OP. If that’s exactly your style and you don’t wanna spend too much time looking you could certainly do worse. The case is not particularly desirable for many, it seems, as I’ve regularly seen them on eBay going for ~300-350€. That’s without a service, of course. I’ll leave it to you if you trust the dealer to have actually, properly serviced the watch.

Watch is certainly in nice shape, but since you mention the price, I’ll assume it’s somewhat important. ~$900 USD for this reference is high. That said, if the year is that important and you like it, I can’t imagine you’ll regret the purchase later on in life
