·Hello Omega experts,
I’m considering a purchase of an Omega Ref.165.027 Seamaster 120 from 1968. The dial looks very good (including under loupe inspection) but the lume is quite degraded, which gives me concerns about water/moisture damage.
The watch has just had a full service and includes a 30-month warranty.
However, the only photo I have of the movement shows what appears to be rust spots on the ratchet wheel, crown wheel and adjusting spring for regulator.
The 165.027 is not easy to find, and I’m tempted to buy given the service and warranty. But water damage is indeed a concern with a 60-year-old dive watch.
A few photos attached.
