    Hi chaps!

    Pull the trigger or not... I'm thinking about the value of this watch. I don't give the price in order to see what you say first ;)
    Solid 18k gold, looks like it's french (eagle head stamp). The movement is not pristine but fine. I find the dial rather nice. The case might need a slight polishing. I think it's a 1946 or 47 model as it's over 1 million SN.


    cheers!

    Nice bumper, love case. Nice looking dial, I wonder if original. Pity the hour hand. Crown dubious. Any inner caseback photo?

    Is that currency Won?

    Apologies I've not encountered 'SN' before. I don't think it's worth it because the movement looks a little worn and dirty, although I suppose you're getting 18k solid gold.

    As said by Rochete, the crown looks odd, almost thin in my opinion. I would pass.

    What's wrong with the hour hand?

    Might be an optical effect but it looks bended (near the base) and damaged on my screen.

    Sorry 10 millions not 1...
    the case looks legit to me. I'm currently servicing one with the exact same case (see pics). The hour hand does not seem to be bent. The crown is indeed dubious but it's not a big deal for me. I think the dial is original. I have a very close one at home on another one. For the movement I don't care much. i'll service it.

    Unless the case is marked Omega inside I wouldn't bother. Omega cases typically have more gold 50% or more than many unofficial cases. The fixed lugs tend to speak of something other than an Omega case(s).

    Really need to see inside the case.

    Yup. I saw some other french case that had no omega markings. I guess they can't be all fake? never saw some fixes lugs?
