Help, I have come across a 1965 Omega Seamaster 600 Ref. 136.011 Caliber 611 17jewels. According to the description it is all original and the dial has been untouched from when it left the factory, it even has the omega logo stamped crystal (no photo provided), original crown and has just been serviced. I really really like this watch but I am wondering what the forums think if this Is this the real deal? And What is the maximum the watch is worth as it has come up as an auction watch. Thanks👍

Unfortunately these are the only photos in the best resolution provided.

Well based on those pretty poor pictures it looks pretty original and in good condition but do bear in mind that it is a lower end model in the collecting pecking order so think mid hundreds in value terms. The killer with gold plated watches (which are the least desirable vs all steel or solid gold) is plate wear as this can't be easily or cheaply improved 40 microns is thicker than some but still easily worn through. Check the lugs carefully for any brassing where the metal underneath is showing through, that is not desirable and knocks hundreds off the value. What proof have they provided that it has been recently serviced? Most watches for sale are advertised as 'recently serviced' or 'running great' but most are neither in reality. Without proof, assume it may need work and adjust your price expectation accordingly.

Thank you for the help, there is no proof it has been serviced and the plating is 40 microns thick, the seller also has another that looks very enticing 1968 Omega Constellation 168.016 Caliber 751 24 Jewels serial number 27.666.730 original dial and and everything with original box. just serviced (no proof). It is also an auction piece. Do you think it is a good watch? And like before what the value is? Here are the photos: thanks!

For the first watch (The Seamaster ) i would say a good price would be around 300-350 Euro and for the Constellation about 450 Euro..
I am not an expert it's just my personal opinion..
