··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersI suspect that it has a random gold coloured bezel paired with a SS dogleg case. In turn it’s been paired with a two-tone BOR to complete the ensemble.

I don't hate it. Though I think it would look better once the gunk has been cleaned off the bracelet.

·It looked pretty cool at first but it really seemed something was off though can't quite point it out.

I have seen some few instances of gold bezel on otherwise stainless case. I wouldn't say with any certainty that it came from the factory that way, but this is not my first....

As far as I'm aware, in the 60s, Omega did Connies in gold and gold cap with gold bezels (some with SS mid cases but capped lugs) but didn't do fully SS cases with (yellow) gold bezels.
They did do a peculiar (and quite rightly uncommon) gold body C-case with silver coloured bezel
Who knows what they got up to in the 70s
Regarding the OP's watch, I don't believe that is even a heavily polished Connie bezel of any type.

Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water.......
this pops up in my email alerts
however, I'm not at all convinced all the part of this watch began life together (silver indices and hands and gold bezel?)
-but with Omega and C-cases all bets are off

·Could it be that the original stainless steel bezel was lost, and they simply fitted a gold cap in its place?
omegas with missing bezel threads are quite common, there is one on the boards now

+It's a dog leg case and those come with flat bezels (some counterfeit cases have rounded ones as Mondodec points out in his blog here). The sloped shape of this random bezel is what's clashing here, apart from the colour.

·Never seen this with a gold bezel. Probably not original. Other than that it looks legit.
