Omega help, please?

I have a chance to purchase a gently-used Omega Seamaster Bond 007 2537.80.00 Limited Edition watch for $900.00.

Seller has no problem accompanying me to an Omega AD for inspection.

Assuming that all is good, should I jump on the deal?..I know VERY little about Omegas.....

Your help would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
Bob.

$900 for modern automatic Omega is a steal. I would most definitely have it thoroughly checked out by a watchmaker prior to stroking that check.

You'll be out $900 and you'll have a watch some people like.

This is true but buy the watch because you love it, not just because it is a deal.

I love the look of it, but would not have been able to afford it, otherwise....It's a great deal for me, in ALL ways....:)

I'm more concerned about ME liking it, rather than trying to please OTHERS, but thanks for your input.

Sucks. But at least you didn't make a $900 mistake.

It's good you did the proper due diligence. You seem smart so I suspect you'll have an Omega or whichever luxury swiss watch you choose soon enough.
