We are not particularly inclined to respond to blunt demands for appraisal. What do YOU know about this watch?

Why would you buy a vintage watch before asking for opinions?

IMO, the watch has been put together from parts to superficially resemble an Omega "Dirty Dozen" watch. The case might be legit, can you post a photo of the inside case-back?

How much did you pay and what was the auction estimate? Also, what appealed to you?

I do that all the time, buy for less and sell for.more. Not only watches. Thing is, last time I bought fake Omega. They give me my money back, but I was not happy. But for this one I think when I compare on google that is good. I just need expert opinion. Thanks

The value is what you paid for on the day you bought it.

If you’re buying to sell for profit you’re going to have to do some more work of your own and show us what research you’ve done so far.

Generally members are happy to help fellow collectors but my view (I believe shared by several others) is, if you’re buying to sell for profit, you should build at least some of your own expertise before asking for help

It is not auction house like that. I paid 5000 SEK. Around 500 USD. And there is no estimated peice.

I don’t collect these but from my time as a member here on OF , I know that the dials on these watches are almost always reproductions. As @Dan S asks .. movement and inside case back shots are needed.

Yes, the dial is fabricated, and hands obviously. The movement is definitely wrong, but legit Omega. I also don't think the mid-case is correct for an Omega WWW, so I suspect that the case-back may have been faked. Not much value unfortunately. Next time, I suggest that the OP might want to get feedback before purchasing.

This is the problem with AI, garbage results. I suggest some real research. Or you can believe what you have been told.

Unfortunately, your watch is not an authentic Omega Dirty Dozen, IMO. Almost everything is obviously wrong.

Thanks for your advice. I will go to Omega store here in Stockholm for advise and expertise. Beat regards
