Just bought this vintage Omega Chrono 320
Hi everyone. This is my first post in the omega section I believe but I have always enjoyed a few vintage omegas in my collection. Today I purchased something which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful vintage omega's I've ever seen. I'ts a 320 chrono movement in a 18k gold case with a perfect all original white dial. I think I overpaid a little bit but I just wanted it too bad to pass up. It won't be on my wrist for at least another week but here are the sellers pics:

I'm definitely getting a 5522A, Wait a minute I'm not getting a 5522A?!?!?!?!
The hype surrounding this watch has been unlike anything I've ever seen in my 10 Years of collecting. I am curious what some members experiences have been in trying to procure this piece. My goal of this post is to vent some frustration and get recommendations for a new AD to start a relationship with.I have known what used to be My AD for 10 years. I was basically introduced to watches through them and bought brands such as Panerai, Rolex, Patek and also referred some friends and family throughout the years and helped the staff sell some pieces as well. I found out that the World Exhibition of Watches would be held in NYC when I was invited to a Patek Minute Repeater Event at HSWA that my AD's store mgr/minority owner kindly invited me to.

Did I get scammed? Did the authorized dealer sell me a used one as NEW??
I was showing my 5127 to my watch dealer friend and he was looking at mine with a loupe.And he discovered, to my dismay, that my new patek which I purchased in 2013 had been polished, as the gold engraving the dog hallmark was barely visible.Here is the engraved dog hallmark on my new patek that has never been polished by meImageUploadedByTapatalk1412690496.380975.jpgHere is what it's supposed to look like on another white gold Patek Calatrava (5296G)ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412690544.930828.jpgAlthough it's a pretty lousy picture you can see little lines in the dog, which are details that are completely missing on my hallmark.Nothing is there on my dog under the loupe!!What do you guys think?My watch dealer friend says that this has DEFINITELY been polished.I cannot believe my watch was used and sold to me as new.I'm traveling at the moment and don't have my macro lens with me so I could only take these shitty photos with my phone and a loupe.
