More likely a frankenwatch put together of parts and a repainted dial
M mau92Seller want 900€ for it? Do you think it‘s a fair Price ?

Absolutely not, this would be lost money even at a third of the price. I understand it might look tempting at first glance, but look at some of the details:
The lugs are completely polished through, as mentioned above. The thin gold plating is gone and what you can see in a different color is the brass underneath. The dial is likely refinished, which basically kills any value this would have to a collector. The crown is an incorrect replacement and likely not a genuine Omega part. The clasp that the seller made sure to highlight in a photograph is a cheap fake.
Now, if all those issues aren’t enough, they sure also aren’t exactly promising regarding the movement. I’d stay well clear of the watch (and the seller at that). The pics etc don’t look to me like he doesn’t know better - they look like he does.
I’m no expert by any means but does the caseback look like it’s overhanging the case in diameter?
I don't quite see what you mean, I'm afraid
Or is that just the side of the case? The tones are making me see what isn’t there maybe.

You’ll find it’s easier to get replies when you open a new thread for such questions instead of using an existing one that was originally regarding a different watch.
To find out what the market value is for it, take good pictures in daylight from all sides and the movement / inside of the caseback. Any watchmaker can help you open it. Put it on eBay, starting at 1€/$. My guess would be somewhere around 300-400€.
