    OK, found another possible one to buy...

    Thoughts? The company is in Austria, so if something goes wrong, well, who knows. But it ticks the right boxes, serial number matches, case clearly has been polished which is fine, can't tell if it's been redialed although the description says not.

    This one looks too good to be true (can't be original, can it), although the seller's reputation seems to be good from what I've seen on the net.

    1. Wrong font - OmegA
    2. Wrong font - Seamaster (and second "s" closed)
    3. Original case: Steel. This was gold plated...

    Only the movement seems clean and sound. Please, forget this one, Mlcor.

    Yup--see my follow-on post, the seller has a very bad reputation...

    No, mlcor.

    Well, he's a brick and mortar shop, not a private seller, you're not going to get any bargains. I'm more concerned about it being totally redone.
