Seamaster 2296.80

Good Evening,

My wife has given me "permission" to buy another Omega for our 30th wedding anniversary. I currently own a Seamaster de ville (1971yp) and a Speedy Pro (1984 year purchased). I'm thinking Seamaster for a differnt look from the Speedy Pro.
There is a a 2296.80 from one of the suggested used watch dealers listed on Chronocentric for
$2490. It is listed as near mint, and I haven't called about warrenty info etc. Any comments on this watch or price? $2500-3000 is about my budget. I've never bought a used watch, but letting someone else take the hit on depreciation
seems the way to go it the watch is "near mint."
Some type of warranty would be very desirable.
Thanks for your help. This is an amazing web site!
Regards, Greg Dorfmeier, Smyrna, GA
