Bit of reassurance required

Regarding this Seamaster 2225.80.00 on the bay.

From seller: -
Here I have my husband Omega Seamaster Gents Watch, It was purchased Year 03/12/2010
Self Winding Blue Chronograph Dots Dial with Chronometer Movement and Rhodium Plated Finish,
Scratch Resistant Sapphire Crystal,
Stainless Steel Bracelet and Original Case with all paper document and Certificates
Helium Escape Valve,
Water Resistant up to 300 Metres

There are pictures on the advert, but not overly clear, so I contacted the seller who sent me a few more, a couple of which I've posted below: -





Now it looks pretty genuine to me and, apart from the case back being upside down, looks unmolested. Serial number is where it should be, a few scratches on the bracelet which are to be expected I suppose.
Is it worth making an offer on do we think? It's up for £1500 BIN or make offer.
I can get a brand new one from several places at around the £2100 - £2200 mark, but that saving seems better in my pocket than someone else's.
Sorry for rambling.

Looks pretty genuine. Do they have the original purchase receipt and paperwork (cards)? I recently bought a black seamaster 300m chrono on the bay for £1400 cash, same year as this one with all paperwork incl original receipt. Always worth an offer. You could always take it to an AD to check authenticity!

Has the bracelet got all its links, or at least enough for you?

Thanks for the responses guys.

Mike, all the three cards are there, not sure about original receipt, and good call about the bracelet Alex, will pose the question.

OK, bracelet full size, and my offer has been accepted, so I now own yet another chronograph.

Orange PO next, but it will have to wait a while, may have to flip a couple now as it's getting out of hand.
