Hello omega buffs.

Came about this de ville on the swedish equivalent of ebay. Never seen this "limited edition" 18k gold de ville before. This can't be authentic, or what do you guys think? The font on the caseback looks really awkward.

It's a 1995 Prestige model 168.1050 - PIC 4600.31 with a caliber 1109 (the forerunner to the 1120). There was a yellow gold with silver dial version too. Looks authentic to me.

I never saw that coming. What do you think regarding value? It comes with the original box, but with no papers.

Is this the 18k pink gold version, then ulackfocus? Ok, a 1109. Weird, because it says 1120 on the rotor...

It was 1109 in 1993 and went to a 1120 in 1994 , there were both unlimited and limited edition models

Ok, thanks for the clarification. So is this the rose gold version then? Ulackfocus said there were a yellow gold version too...

Well it certain looks rose and not yellow. But the photography and processing can effect the color appearance a lot. However as the seller states it is the rose gold model, one would not have any reason to believe it was anything else.

Lol. Yeah no doubt it is rose. Well, the seller didn't actually state that. Was just not keen on buying a plated watch if there ever was one. But the limited ed perhaps only came in 18k. Any idea what a reasonable price would be?
