    Hi All,

    I've bought a few vintage diver watches recently so selling a couple of my dress watches to balance the books.

    I purchased this on OF about a year ago and have worn it occasionally over that time. Below is a link to the original listing:

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/vin...-w-original-black-dial-on-bor-bracelet.79292/

    Details:

    Case: 35mm (without crown) stainless steel case in good condition with some minor scratches and marks. It appears to have been lightly polished in the past but retains sharp edges with the sides still showing some of the original vertical brushed finish. The tip of the bottom left lug may have sustained a knock in the past as it has a flat spot on it (please see pictures).

    Case Back: Some slight scratches are present but it appears unpolished with the Hippocampus medallion and Seamaster writing still very sharp. Picture of the inside of caseback is from when I purchased the watch. It is inscribed with 166010-67 S.C and some watchmaker service marks.

    Dial: Original glossy black dial with white gold hour markers. The dauphine hands show some minor signs of corrosion but are in overall good condition. Both the dial markers and hands are infilled with tritium with the corresponding "SWISS MADE T" at the bottom of the dial. There is an applied Omega logo at 12 o'clock with the original dial text in silver.

    Crystal and Crown: Both the crystal and crown are signed with Omega logo. The crystal appears to have been polished in the past and has some minor scuff marks still present.

    Movement: Caliber 565 movement with swan neck regulator and 24 jewels. Changing the date is via a quickset system which involves pulling and pushing the crown in and out. Movement serial number dates the watch to 1968.When I purchased the watch the seller made a comment that the centre bridge colour did not quite match the rest of the movement and concluded it may have been changed during a service. Watch was last serviced in 2015 but no paper work was provided. Picture of the movement is from when I purchased the watch.

    Accessories: Comes with a period correct Omega 5 row beads of rice stainless steel J/M bracelet with number 11 endlinks. Will fit up to approximately 19cm wrist. One of the endlinks may need some adjustment so it sits a little more flush with the case. Noticable in my first picture top left lug.

    Watch location: Australia

    Price & shipping: $1275 USD/£1025/€1156 net to me by bank wire. I use Transferwise which means it will be a local bank transfer for you in your own currency.
    PayPal available for established OF members with payment in AUD $1900
    Includes express international shipping with tracking, signature and insurance using EMS. Shipping will occur once funds have cleared.

    Returns: No returns accepted.

    If you need any further information or photos please send me a PM.

    Many thanks for viewing and to OF for the space.
