I guess it's all relative. Was just basing it on my previous 60 y-o watches that all have been in quite a sorry, patinated state compared to this. But sure, it's not immaculate/mint. Selling it elsewhere so nevermind..

For sure. Most sellers inflate their condition statements, but anything missing lume with gashes from a slipped jaxa is ‘good’ at best. I always err on the side of caution to avoid reprisal.
Even so, this my Omega monocoque (on its way to servicing yesterday) I feel is in good aged condition, with fair condition hands. Yet, the watchmaker shot me down hard as I handed it to him, stating the dial looked very aged and then laughing at the caseback scratches that looked like someone didn’t know it was a front-loader.
Indeed compared to his minty moonwatch he had on the bench and practically chucked in my direction, this is a beater.

Pretty sure ‘great condition’ is as subjective ‘good time’, what with it missing the lume in the hands and half the lume markers on the indices, and no actual mention of roughly how many seconds +/- each day. The slipped jaxa scratches are relatively big for ‘very small’, too. All in all it’s a very nice Omega, I quite like the look of it, but yea, maybe I’m more conservative with how I’d rate a watch.
