Omega SM300 - Possible trade - Please help
Hello all, I would like to get your opinion on this Omega. I am curious if anything looks out of place, based on some searches I have done the numbers on the bezel seem incorrect. I have come across several different dials, but the dial seems to be correct although it does not say 'swiss' on it. I have searched on ebay to give me a price guideline, I found these are nearing 1,400usd and up, however that is for refinished watches and NOS, everything I found is in better condition than I believe this one to be. If at all possible, based solely on these pictures(assuming watch is in good working order), could you ballpark a figure for this?Any tips/advice are greatly appreciated, A big advanced thank you!OmSM300Date11711007.jpgOmSM300Date11711005.jpg

Well not yet. Still 5 more days, but I'm finally getting a 5164A. After much consideration I decided to upgrade my 5167. I've been going about it for months. I've been on the brink of getting the 5164 only to pull back. But after endless hours of contemplation and comparing photos (you've all been there) I decided to pull the trigger. So my small collection will now consist of 3 watches. The blue 5711, white Daytona C and the 5164. I think it's a perfect trio for me. 3 different dial colors and 3 different complications. Can't wait. I'll post pictures when I get it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
