·The watch appears to be legit. US-cased 14k gold-filled gents watch with cal 600 hand-winding movement.
If the dial were not damaged, it would have been an ok price, IMO.

·What do you think the big black mark is? It's unusual, and almost looks like someone drew on the dial with a Sharpie. It's true that it's part of the watch's history, but it's not normal aging and I would find it very distracting, TBH.

·case tube looks broken I do believe
it protects the crown and makes the watch a bit more water resist
the main question is the movement parts
sometimes you can get cheap vintage Omega but many movement parts needs to be replaced

·Yeah I don’t think it’s a bargain as condition is so so, and any service will double the cost of the watch without adding any real value.
Still, not a huge noob tax. I’d just wear it as is, it’s not one to be throwing loads of money at imo.

·If you have a friendly watchmaker then good luck. Otherwise you will likely lose money. Even with a friendly watchmaker you will probably lose. The days of buying cheap fixeruppers are over. Everyone with an interest in watches is constantly scouring online. You have 3 posts. Its a learning curve. Enjoy and don't lose too much.

·Case screws and clamps missing, no gasket, movement adaptor ring missing. You likely would have had to pay more if you had bought a COMPLETE watch! No deal, as I see it!

·Here is hoping that the black on the dial is a Sharpie. The ink used in Sharpies is light sensitive and will completely fade over a few years in light.
