What Does Your Watch Say?

Because of bad experiences with members with no references I will only be dealing with CWC members with references and posting history here on CWC.

Where do I start with this one? Legend has it I'm the third or fourth owner. The first two owners treated the watch like a tool watch. And when it "acted up," was sent to the local watchmaker who "sorted it out". That's the service history.
The case back is wrong. It's for an Omega Geneve 166.041 which had a gold coloured case.
The case has pitting and wear.
The chrono second hand is a replacement.
The buttons are replacements.
The dial has become discoloured.
One of the case clamps is incorrect.
The hour recorder yoke is missing, yet the screw is still there
For all this watches faults, I fell for it when I saw it.
Considering the conditions and issues I think I have this guy reasonably priced. If you buy another watch that I have listed here, I'll take off $200 and make it $2800.
