: I've come across a New Old Stock Seamaster 200, with the 1441
: movement. From what I understand, this would make it a 1987/1988
: vintage. It's NOS, brand 'new' and comes with box, instructions
: etc.etc. and it's for sale at an authorised Omega dealer. Its
: model number is 396.1041, it's the full size integrated 1455
: bracelet stainless steel model.

: From what I understand, the 1441 movement is the thermo-compensated
: model with the dual-oscillators.

: I could get it for 450 euros and not knowing that much about
: omegas, I'm wondering if it's worth it and how rare are these
: pre-bond seamasters with the 1441 movement? The watch is for
: sale at a 'high-end' omega dealer and the dealer is saying that
: it would come with full omega warranty and all papers etc. They
: are clearing out old stock and it's simply been sitting 'out
: back' for the last 20 years. So it's a 'new' old omega.

: Any help would be appreciated.

: Cheers
