I saw this one for sale at a good price - too good really. Is there anything obviously wrong with it?

Re: Omega RAF '53 Question
Here are photos of mine the one you posted has a better dial and case than mine. Make sure the dohicky a metal ring that goes inside the case back is there they are sometimes missing. But there a guy who made copies of that metal ring if missing keeps the movement from moving around. Omega used this design for the first railmaster. Mike they all have deep engraving if they don't then I would be worried it's what makes it one of the coolest military case backs.
Also make sure dust cover there to. You can see dust cover and metal ring that collectors call the dohicky over at MWR forum.
They originally came with this paper info on the back of the dust cover most missing over the years Zaf at classic watch made up some I used one. If you get the watch and you want the sticker to put on back of dust cover let me know if you want my spare, I will try to find it in my mess of parts around the house.
