Buy or not buy?

Dont think this has been written in this thread before, but with respect to your solid gold watch, the only way you could get more information on it is to apply for an extract of the archives From Omega

i have 4 EoA now -2 for Speedies and 2 for 18 solId gold Connies - lots of threads on the “value” of an EoA on this forum, but for me it solved 2 mysteries for my Connies

one confirmed my 168.005 dog leg pie pan was 18k solid rose gold (that was delivered to Angola in 1966),

and the second EoA confirmed my 14381 lyre lug pie pan was delivered to Ireland in 1962 - and this Finally explained what the mysterious hallmarks were that were stamped on the caseback (on the medallion, of all places) - they were Irish import marks ( the lady with a harp ( Hibernia symbol) and U for date year 1962, plus 2 others for 18 and 750)

so for me, the EoAs were well worth the value

I found a couple of these online.

€500 for an 18K gold Omega is not bad. You need to get the seller to open the watch to be sure.

The reference on the certificate is BA 162.058.

This corresponds to an 18K gold (BA) watch on a leather strap with a calendar center seconds movement and is not water-resistant.

There are a couple of links with more information in the following thread.
