·Could you tell us a bit more? Do you already posses the watch? Or want to buy it?
Anyway. Unfortunately it looks to me like a quite bad redial and the case looks hardly polished… A big pass for me.

·I bought on eBay about ten years ago. Didn't pay much. 150 euros I think.
Just had serviced. Jeweller confirmed movement and serial number.
So it's a refurb?
Thanks

·Yes - look at the text and compare it with known originals. Also, study the minute markers, which are uneven and too thick.
it’s clean and presentable, but I don’t think you overpaid, tbh. It’s not going to be of value to a collector, but if you choose to wear it and enjoy it, then you could do far worse.

Collectors do their/our best to avoid redialled watches and that is why the rarer original watches can fetch a significantly higher price.
Yours is a perfectly nice daily wearer with the cachet of having an Omega movement and case. I doubt it’s value is very different now from ten years ago but at the price you paid it works out at €15 pa plus the odd service and change of strap.

·I have an original one of those and I can’t deny that I do see the attraction of yours. The only thing I would change is the over long second hand. I am getting deja vu though since I think I posted this last time you posted yours!
