    I bought this watch here:

    You can read a bit more about it here:

    I bought it for 600 GBP (680 Euro) but then also had the crown and crystal replaced (with genuine Omega parts) to gain water resistance. The watch was tested to 2bar water resistance and passed! This makes it an ideal watch for daily wear. I'm including the original crown and crystal. All pics except the first 2 were taken today. There are small spots on the dial (patina) which are difficult to see but which can been seen on the pics. Pics are part of the description. The lume (radium?) is original on the hands and plots. There is some lume-loss on the plots. The watch was obviously recently serviced (see links above) and actually runs within chronometer specs! As you can see the movement is in a very good condition. It probably was polished in the past or the lugs have worn with age (it's 59 years old!!!) The case back is in a very good condition. It's 35mm across without the crown but wears a bit bigger than the size would suggest. It's on a Shell Cordovan XL strap with no-name buckle which I added later, but which I think suits the watch.

    Questions are welcome. No returns on this watch. The price includes registered shipping from Belgium. Bank transfer or PayPal (Friends & Family) are fine. Realistic offers welcome.

    WITHDRAWN: Price 700, 680 now 660- Euro

    EDIT: Pic added in 3 positions on the timegrapher (Dial UP, 9 up and 6 up). Amplitude and beat error are spot-on!

    Last bump!

    Someone wanted to know what it looked like on a timegrapher. Here are the results in the 3 most important positions Dial up, 9 up and 6 up. It runs 0-2 seconds per day on my wrist. Amplitude and beat error are spot-on!
