Hey CWC,
Here's a rare watch I've been meaning to have restored but am now on my way to a grail purchase so need to let it go.
I recieved this watch as payment for some work I had done while living in the UK. It has literally sat in my safe deposit box for about 4 years as I never found time or the funds to put into it. It needs to find someone who wants to enjoy it for what it is: an ultra cool vintage diver!
I don't know much about these watches except that they are a rare example of one of Omega's first diving watches.
The condition is fair with its share of marks, as to be expected from a watch from the early 70s. I'm not sure if it's all original but it seems to be.
Things to note:
1 The bi-directional bezel shows marks and slight cracking on the one side. Almost looks like it's bubbled in one small area at the 6 and 7 mins mark. The bezel comes off of the watch easily and rotates very easily as well. (I just may not be securing it properly myself)
2 The crystal is in basically mint condition which makes me question whether it's original?
3 The dial is in nice shape though some of the markers are starting to fade. There is a small mark on the far right edge past the seconds markers that looks like it may have been touched up with paint by a watchmaker? Hard to see and photograph but seems a bit darker from the rest of it. The hands match the dial and seem to be in good shape.
4 The bracelet shows some "stretch", will fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist, fully extended and the second link back on the 12 o'clock side shows some deformation. The clasp functions just as it should.
5 The movement winds and sets. The date functions properly as well but I do not know the service history and would highly recommend a service.
For these 5 reasons I'm giving the potential new owner a week to have it looked at and decide whether they'd like to finalize the purchase. If it's not what you're looking for, send it back to me for a full refund minus shipping, no questions asked. I've had a lot of transactions on here so deal with confidence. Please refer to my feedback. Any questions, I'm happy to answer what I can.
Not sure how to price this, but judging by other listings I've seen I'll start at $3000 or the best reasonable offer.
