    Dear all
    I found this Omega in a secondhand website.
    The seller does not know anything about it, it comes from his father, he doesn't know how to open the watch, doesn't know serie number, but insist that it is a 18k case. The price is about 600 EUR, which is quite nice if it is a real gold case?
    The followings are the best picture he can take.
    He lives quite far from my place, so I need to think careful if I should go
    I know it is stupid, but do you have any information and advises on this watch
    Thanks

    I would pass on this! The wear mark on the back says this is likely gold plated and hardly worth 600 euros.:eek:

    Is that wear-through, or a reflection of the strap (or some other reflection)? Hard to tell...

    Looks like wear to me too.

    Looks like quartz as well.

    PASS.

    Not worth $600, let alone 600 Euro. Even if solid gold, those 1980's cases are very thin.

    Pass.

    +1. Value of the gold is 300E on a good day.

    Thanks very much for advises
    I asked the seller if the watch is gold or gold plate, and he said he think it is gold plated, if the watch is real gold, the price will be 2800 Euro
    I can't believe that, and he is unfriendly also.
    I pass this watch
