    Ok, thank you for the input. What do you think, is it worth the gamble for $670? @ConElPueblo @gatorcpa ? Your advice is much appreciated

    No - the bridge has some cosmetic damage where the "24 jewels" lettering is, likely from a loose screw being trapped under the rotor at some point. The wear along the circumference of the movement shows the rotor pinion (bearing) is likely wearing and should be replaced - inexpensive part and will not add a great deal to the cost of service.

    Cheers, Al

    The price is good, even given the condition issues (dial, rotor, cleaning).

    Perhaps you can make it even better by pointing out these flaws.

    Tell the seller that you intend to fix it up and keep it. If they are a collector, they may understand and cut you a better deal.

    Good luck,

    A beautiful watch! Go for it! And if you get tired of it I’ll gladly take it of your hands ;)

    Cheers!

    The watch is now purchased. Will post pictures of it when it arrives :) Any suggestions where to service the watch in Sweden/Europe?

    The watch is now beeing serviced. I chose to hand it in to an Omega authorized service center (Nymans in Västerås). It is a bit more expensive but they had the capacity to have it serviced within 4 weeks and with a 2 year warranty. Will post pictures when I get it back :)
