Hi everyone, I have two questions
Does anyone know how to find out if a Omega watch solid gold or not if the original caseback is missing? (On the dial stands "OM SWISS MADE OM")
Secondly, I am looking for the exact same dial seen on the pic. Does anyone have that or has a contact who has it?
(I am also looking for a GP case ref 176.0001 btw 😁)
Appreciate any help

OK, I'll stick my head above the parapet (and expect to get it shot off by someone more knowledgeable).
To the best of my knowledge (which is relatively piffling in the company of others here) OM Swiss Made OM indicates a solid gold dial.
I've not seen a OM dial fitted (by Omega) to anything other than a solid gold case. So if you're confident that the dial is still in its original case...

I don’t see the OM on the dial in the watch in your opening post. Is that a picture of YOUR Omega, or is it an image you appropriated for your post? The one in the picture appears to be two-tone (yellow & white). Is your watch all yellow in colour? Two tone case and bracelet would imply to me the watch is stainless steel with karat gold. If the picture you posted is NOT your watch, it would be helpful if you would post a picture of your actual watch.

Post opened on Tuesday, two replies, the OP hasn’t replied. Yet another “drive-by” from the look of it!
