Unless they'll accept a Best Offer markedly below £1,100, this seems like a good candidate...

Antique Omega Seamaster Wristwatch. Superb working order and condition. No box or papers. A tremendous addition to any collection

Right...

Mine is at not even half the price of this and looks better. 😁

Omega is high priced nowadays, even garbage Omegas... so.... It is what it is...

I'd see a wealthy petro-arab wear that. However, it's not mechanic... Eew..

Huuuuge amount of sales BS in the listing too:

"The pearlescent white dial (signed 'Omega'; 'Automatic'; 'Chronometer - Officially Certified'; 'Constellation' and 'Swiss Made') is in immaculate restored condition."

"The watch case and pressure fit caseback are stainless steel and in very good original condition with very few signs of wear having been sympathetically professionally polished to a high shine."

My guess is the seller doesn't know the watch was recently made or he hopes a buyer doesn't and thinks it's a vintage chrono.
