    Looking to find out if I made a bad/good purchase here, it was quite cheap, dirty and the band is to small for me.

    The watch glass is scratched, but not that bad on the case. It's filthy, but everything seems to work and the hands and hour marks glow in the dark. It measures 45x35mm (not measuring the crown)

    Text on the dial is:

    [omega logo]
    "Omega"
    "Automatic"
    "Genève"
    " - swiss made -"

    Stamped on the band: "631"

    Inside of band lock:
    ("11" inside a circle) "Stanless steel" (Omega logo inside a triangle)
    "1170 Omega"

    Album with more pictures and details:

    Its real, they're just not worth a lot of money, and it probably needs servicing before use or you could do some damage to parts.

    Thank you for the reply. It was only 50 USD, so that should not be to bad?
    Also, do you know what the model it is?

    The bracelet is probably worth that much by itself.

    Looks like you got a free watch. :cool:

    Nice score. I just sold an 1170 bracelet for over $300...so if it were me, I would sell the bracelet, make some money, and wear the watch on a strap...or sell the watch head as well, and fund a really nice vtg Omega.
