··Sunburst dial fanHi @RicardoCosta, and welcome.
I’m sure someone can help but you’ll need to post better and more focused photos.
Also the inside of the caseback.

·Hi there, welcome to OF.
Your watch looks like it has a locally produced case, something that is common in many countries. Most - if not all - gold watches have some sort of marking that tells you what carat gold it is made of and which can tell you what country it is from. You watch is from circa 1950, has a repainted dial and probably also a replaced seconds hand. The hands would most likely have matched the indices (gold-coloured) when it was new.

·Yes, of course.
There is a "18K" mark on the left side of the caseback. On the top of my head I can't remember which countries used that marking, but it may help us, if you tell where you are from. Brazil?

Hey,
Thanks again for your help.
I'm from Portugal but my great-grandfather was from Brazil. I don't really know where he bought this watch.
It can be from Portugal or Brazil.

Brazilian made gold watches are a common thing to see and I think they used the "18K" hallmark. There is no Omega reference number or model name as such, as it is a locally produced case with a Swiss movement. It was common in a number of countries to make their own gold cases due to import tariffs on gold products. Brazil, France, USA and England are amongst the countries that used to do this.

So you think it's hard to have the model without this information?

·There is likely to be no name or reference number, sorry. Your best bet is going through Brazilian Omega adverts from around 1950 and see if you can find one that matches. Even so, it is likely that it will only say that it is a man's watch in 18k gold.

Thanks for your help!
Have you an idea about the price of this watch without the reparation?
