    You beat me on that , I stopped at 303 USD because hands look a bit too long and a broken main spring

    I think the hands are fine, match the patina and age, watch still had the original Omega crystal too. Plenty of references with the minute hand extending past the second track.

    Movement is bright and crisp, no issues with the mainspring and will tick briefly, just needs a cleaning.

    Did you change the crystal? It looked (and described as cracked) in the auction
