Its a classy and beautiful. The dial is original and has been fully refurnished to black.

Please study the photos as this makes part of the description.

The reasons why Omega vintage watches are good to buy:
1. Value/Investment. They hold their value brilliantly and should actually increase in value over the next few years as they become rarer and rarer. Buying a brand new watch is like a car, as soon as it leaves the premises the prices drops by at least 20%. A vintage watch like this in excellent condition and serviced by a Omega specialist is very difficult to find.
2. Stealth Wealth. A leading American news commentator wrote an article regarding "Stealth wealth" - where this watch type is purchased by gentleman who tend to purchase things that are discrete and very sophisticated. Basically a subtle way to show off the exquisiteness of good taste.
I am selling lots more items including my French holiday home where I dropped the price from £350k > £275k. Also selling a couple more watches, top notch gents & ladies ones. Have a look.
I have excellent feedback from well over 800 sales. I have recently been upgraded to a eBay "Power Seller". Therefore bid with complete confidence.
