    Is that a NOS? You should account that in your target price. NOS premium.
    BTW I don't know much about Omega 30mm price.

    No I don't believe it is. The case, dial and movement are very good but do show some signs. The strap could be a later addition or it's just had a few scrapes, nothing very obvious. Like you I'm not expert in 30mm prices so can only check the internet for past results.
    Hence the query to get some info. from those who know this watch well.
    I do have one and would like to add another.

    There will be a number of forum members who would be willing to pay above estimate for this watch - it looks like a nice example.

    You will be bidding against me and probably a few other forum members now.
    Good luck. ;)

    Looks like this watch hardly saw any daylight.

    I think I made a mistake asking for advice. Oh well.

    Just to re-iterate... I wasn't bidding... But always be wary of posting these things before an auction. PM is always the best port of call for any watch you seriously wanna own.

    Always a bit of a double edged sword .

    I was watching the auction earlier hoping it would go through before the end of the day, but it stopped short.

    As stated above, if you see anything interesting keep it under your hat. I cringe every time I have spotted something interesting and it pops up on a forum, totally kills it for me. :)
    Cheers Mick

    I think a number of forum members were already following it even before you posted it here. I'm not bidding for it but if I were I would personally be willing to go above the estimate - it is nicer than about 99% of the manual wind vintage omegas for sale.

    Not my preferred period, but the condition still gave me pause. Sorry David, I agree with the guys saying it would have gone well over estimate even without your post, so on the positive side, with a £350 mind set, you wouldn't have won it anyway...

    Well it went to the internet for £550 plus commission= I think £669 plus whatever the internet charges. It wasn't me, I fell by the wayside at £520.
    Good luck to who ever got it, I hope a forum member.
