    Bought this off a coworker. He said it was his fathers. Just has it professionally serviced in May 2017 Can't find much information on it. No box or papers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Dial markings are Omega Automatic Turler Seamaster. I know Turler is a Swiss Jeweler that may have sold these as branded items (ala Tiffany)

    Numbers inside case are:
    14743 SC - 62
    587671

    It appears to be an example of a converted wristwatch, which was an option at the time. The Turler signed dial does add some value to it, although they're not exactly a rare item since so many of them were sold; they're not as universally collectible as say, a Tiffany & Co. signed dial.

    thank you all for your replies. I know value is subjective, but any idea of what this is worth with the small Turler premium? Watch itself is all original, in VG condition and keeps very good time. Recently serviced. No box or papers though.

    I'm no expert, but perhaps a starting ballpark figure would be the value of a similar condition and reference stainless steel model, plus the scrap value of the gold. Perhaps this guesstimate is far off the mark, other more experienced collectors feel free to chime in and correct me.

    I disagree that "Turler" on the dial adds a premium with this watch, in fact I don't know many, if any, collector's who would pay more for a "Turler" dial.

    I suggest most of the value in this one is in the gold weight, the style is not very 2017. I'd say scrap plus a couple of hundred Euro/GBP/$
