Hello Guys, found this watch at a local shop, and the owner told that this is a 14k gold Omega watch.
Any idea of how much a watch like this is worth?
Thanks.

Have you already purchased it?

Doesn't look like the bracelet is and for the watch id suggest taking the back off and it should have some markings inside to determine if it's gold or just plated

The bracelet is not, just the watch, according to him

The back isn’t removable. This is a monocoque case with a split stem, which requires a watchmaker to open the case and remove the movement from the front.

If you look between the lugs, it should have writing saying something like “14k Gold” if itnis truly gold. These were made in steel, gold filled, and solid gold.

Those are usually gold-filled (which is basically a thicker 'plated'), so not full-gold. I can't get a good idea of the size, and it could be a number of references.

However, if you search sold ebay listings: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...le+gold+date&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1
you can get a good idea of what it might be worth.

Given the unknown service history, engraved case back, and strap, it looks like $3-$500 seems to be the going rate for that. I would want to pay near the lower-end given the engraving that would be meaningless to me (and thanks to being gold filled, likely not a great idea to polish off), and the fact that it almost definitely needs a $500+ service.

These are usually gold-filled and the price difference between GF and 14k gold is massive. So you need to determine that for yourself. Look closely all around the case, including between the lugs. Gold filled, worth a few hundred. 14k gold, over $1k.
