Hey guys, I have found a Omega Gèneve diver reference number 166.0124. I'm very interested in but am not sure if it's real or a fake. If it is real what do you think is a good price for it?

Thanks

SSP

It's a beater with a really bad bezel.


Best guess for a value given the amount of work it may/will need? $350.00 US

What do you mean a beater? Do you think it needs repairs? I'm just new to watches and am just staring to learn.

They mean the watch is very well worn hand has seen a pretty hard life. Compare the one above with the one you are inquiring about. Not even worth half the asking price.

I also think 350 Euro will be a good price for this watch thinking to the other money you will have to pay to restore it.
