MORE PRODUCT INFORMATION
Case : "barrel" shape (14,4 x 43 x 43 mm), For leather straps of 22 mm lug-size, International Collection : 1974-1980

The watch runs quite allright when the chronograph function is on (at -15 seconds per 24 hours), but when the chronograph is off, it runs at something like - 5 minutes per 24 hours. This may be fixed by replacing the battery, but I really am not sure. Other than that, it's a great piece.

There are scratches on the case, but since the dial and glass (replaced by a NOS Omega original) are so nice, it looks stunning, at least in my opinion. Please see the pics and judge for yourself:

The watch comes on a black padded aftermarket strap. The datewheel is in Finnish (I'll let you know what the abbreviations are in English), so this is a great chance to learn a new language (and a nice excuse to buy another watch :-).

It's difficult to define an asking price for a relatively rare vintage piece that looks good but runs slow. I'm thinking about US$990 (including shipping and Paypal). Feel free to make an offer. Many references available. I live in Finland, EU and I can ship worldwide.
