It needs a proper service , budget £300 and you might have change. Don't wind it until then. The crown looks replaced maybe. Does it have sentimental value?

It does in that it was a gift for my 35th Birthday from my girlfriend.
She was told it was freshly serviced, saw photos on movement etc. Seller was very helpful apparently.
That being said I really hope that she didn't get ripped off and if it needs to be returned and a refund requested I feel like that may be the best option. It was purchased from an online vintage watch seller with what looks to be good reviews.

I have received a Vintage Omega Seamaster Geneve cal 565 reportedly from 1968.
Please see photos, I cannot remove the caseback currently. Crystal has Omega logo, crown has some markings on but looks quite damaged, Lugs look to be damaged/overpolished.
what I am struggling with is the minute and second hands seem to be catching the 6 o'clock marker as its too close to the dial. If you push down on the crown all the hands/date window also move up and down.
Does anything stand out as very wrong other than its needs a service/repair?
