Omega 145.0303 Prototype

[chakanika]

Hello guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has any idea about Omega Prototypes. I recently came across a 145.0303 40th anniversary prototype. I had a look at the movement and case and everything else. I was exactly like the limited edition ones but had a 0000 serial. I was thinking about buying it but i am unsure if it is worth what the buyer is asking. The watch is new and looks amazing. Any ideas? would appreciate some opinions. I guess such a watch as it would be unique would be somehow really special

Thanks

I'd be careful, only because I think that Omega takes these back after touring them around their boutiques. The one that you were offered might have been obtained in an unscrupulous deal.

Don't these also have "not for sale" engraved on the case back? I saw the prototype of the Tresor as it made its rounds to all the Omega boutiques and it was clearly marked not for sale.
