1200 is a bit high, given that the dial and hands clearly show signs of degradation due to aging, and that there is an inscription. More of a dealer price, given the condition, and especially given that it is 14k rather than 18k gold.

Having said all of that, I like the inscription. It is elegant, very well executed, and adds to the provenance.

 

As I said I'm not going to sell this piece, one of few in Sweden
Still l fun to know , I bought it for 200usd so it was a good deal then!
Thanks tony for your time ! I appreciate it ,

 

Yes, a very good deal. You are welcome, and enjoy the watch!

 

The scrap gold value for this watch is already about $500, plus a few hundreds more for the rest. You got about 5x more for what you paid.

Btw, it's rather not pink, but red gold. Pink would look more like the colour of the movement.

 

I wrote red first but got unsure when I read about the watch and it said pink!
Is colored gold more expensive the regular gold ?

 

Is rose for red or pink? There're red gold and pink gold Omegas that look different from each other. No idea of price difference between them though.

 

Thanks for that!

 

I have no ide witch one it is , can't you tell in the pic ?

 

Yours is red gold like I said earlier. It's redder than yellow, but has no pink shade like pink gold. I have the same watch and haven't seen pink gold for this reference yet, but seen pink gold on other watches .

 

Omega does not use the term "rose" but red or pink per EN 28654 and ISO 8654. EN/ISO standards define the colours of gold by "A three-dimensional colour space represented by the chromaticity co-ordinates x and y and reflectance Q, in accordance with CIE Publication No. 15."

Colours are:

0N - green yellow
1N - pale yellow
2N - light yellow
3N - yellow
4N - pink
5N - red

Omega also uses another code for white - WE. That is not part of the standards listed above.
