    Unfortunately, the photo is very dark. Is the watch full gold, gold-capped, gold-plated, stainless? This cal 30L Flagship not an uncommon watch, so you should be able to find other examples (even on the forum TBH), although I don't think that's necessary. The watch looks legit to me.

    Thanks. It is steel on the back. Everything else is gold «coloured». (the dial is also gold ). I dont know if it is full gold, my grandad told me it was gold, but i dont know.

    These are referred to as "gold-capped". They are not as desirable to collectors as solid steel or gold, but it does appear to be a genuine watch. We would need better photos of the front and back in order to place a value with some confidence.

    Looks like a ref. 103, a Flagship line model with a 30l inside and a screw down caseback. Nice watch.

    You need a better pic of the dial to be sure about its originality.

    I'd say dial is original.

    Agree, I have no concerns about the dial, and the lumed hands are correct with the no-lume dial for this reference. TBH, with a bit of effort, the OP should be able to find plenty of other examples using google. To a first approximation, a gold-capped example will be relatively similar in value to a SS (non-chronometer) example in the same condition. Without better photos, we can't evaluate condition, obviously. The case-back engraving does not appear to be very legible.

    The glass is very scratched so it is hard to take good photo of Dial. Dial have no damage, only the glass. Does anybody know anything about the bracelet?

    I have no idea of value, but a new crystal, new crown, movement service and some not-too-agressive case polishing would do wonders for this watch.

    Man that watch strap gives me strong 70s vibes.
    The dial actually seems to be in great condition. A service, new crystal, and a leather strap would do wonders.
    Any update on this watch?

    Doubt it. The poster hasn't been seen since.

    Ah, left us hanging on a cliff.
    That's unfortunate.
