Is it me or do the lower lugs look non sharp?

Movement shots are important on these. Some "watchco" use poor and ot unserviced movements Watchco ones should have paperwork.

Agree about the movement shots. However, paperwork may be an issue. I didn't get any though I could print out the emails they sent.
Apart from a sales invoice I'm not sure what they could send.

Is there any proof on who made it? Watchco generally did full services on good movements, other people that made "watchco" sometimes had junk or unserviced movements.

Thought the same thing on the picture as well - looks heavily polished, considering this should be basically a new case.

Its supposed to be a legit watchco watch that has not been used. I have contacted the seller but still no reply

I bought direct from watchco. The movement is the best part of the watch, they said it was unused and when I got it, it looked new and my watchmaker agreed it was excellent. He didn't think much of a few other parts but the movement got the thumbs up.

bottoms of the lugs look scratched, not good if it's supposed to be a new replacement case.

They did not reply to either of my messages. So perhaps my offer insulted them and they are ignoring me 😕

If they are ignoring you that's good. Plenty of excellent Watchco's out there with better cases.

The one I bought from Watchco had not been serviced in a very long time, so not all of them were serviced well before being assembled and shipped.

This seems kind of dumb on their part - they are selling these as essentially new watches - shouldn't they be doing their best to make sure that they are fully serviced as well?

Getting frustrated with these. the current crop of seller I am encountering are being somewhat vague.
I wonder if I should just get a SM 300MC instead, just not a big fan of their thickness.

not a good sign when dealing with vintage watches, but have faith and keep looking, there are nice pieces popping up often.
But be prepared, they may be costly.

Nothing against the OP, but the full set of pictures show a different story and it clearly states like new.They sell numerous models of NOS vintage Omega watches only, plus redialed desirable speedmasters with OEM parts. They even provide their phone number. Feedback 100% with 3613 transactions. Every Omega they have listed on eBay has been sold.

Actually did not get the pics from ebay but from another forum. I sent the seller a second PM with no price offer and he answered me by pointing to his ebay sale, but I forgot to update the thread showing that he had done so. Sorry I hit a nerve with you.
