Hi!

New to watch collecting and I'm looking to buy my first Automatic Omega. Not sure the date of the watch but I am told the movement is Cal 1012. Thinking it is from the 70's

Just wondering if this is a good buy at $330 USD, I've included all the pictures provided to me, so if anyone can help out I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome. Given how dirty the movement & case appear to be, it will probably need servicing & seal replacement at some point in the near future but $330 is a decent price on a working Omega of this type/vintage. I would suggest 1974.

Found this: Vintage Watch: Genève OMEGA ST 166.0190 Watch | OMEGA®
It's part of their 'International' line.

I have two Omega, both of which are "previously enjoyed" pieces, and I agree...that's a fair price. Seeing as how the movement needs cleaning, It wouldn't hurt to ask if the seller would consider knocking the price down a little to compensate for the cleaning needed, but even if the seller won't do it, it's still a good price!
BTW...except for that tiny piece of dirt on the "1", the dial is in great shape!
