·It is very nice but in my opinion the price is a bit too high, try to discuss about it 😉

·Disagree, I think the price is good for what looks an all original pie pan, cross hair, onyx markers with 564 movement. Yes condition could be slightly better but overall it’s a nice honest watch.
At that price I would buy without hesitation.

·I agree with @Noddyman - very decent price for a reference with some nice characteristics.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoAside from some softness on the lugs this is a nice clean example, showing honest wear from use and not polishing, well worth the asking price, just don't forget to figure a service into your budget.

·I don't like the case, movement condition, or crown as much as the first one you shared...

·The case looks like it has been riden quite hard, quite polished on the front and a lot of scratches to the back. The rotor is a replacemet, as is the crown. The black dial looks to be in good shape and as these black dialled Connie's are quite tricky to find that is definitely a big plus. I guess it all comes down to price paid....

··ΩF InvestiGatorRotor is a replacement from a later model.
Dial is nice and hard to find.
If you paid considerably less for the black dial over the silver dial, then you may have done OK.

··ΩF InvestiGatorIMO, you should buy the other watch and swap the dials. Keep #1 with the black dial and sell #2 with the silver dial and frankenwatch movement.
You might not get back the €800 you paid for #2, but will have created value on the first watch.
On the second watch, the crystal is cracked. These go for somewhere between €50 to €100 installed.
Hope this helps,

·Well, you are right. I tend to take bad decisions sometimes, but ever with those minus details. I am confident that I will restore some features of this one.

·I confess that I liked the first one best over all but I do like the black dial. That back requires an awful lot of polishing. Not sure I would want that. It is certainly up to you though!

·Can anyone help me out with the crystal part number and if the crown is the original one? (octogonal one seems to be the one legit)
