·This one looks immaculate
Well, @mac_omega's watch is immaculate, the eBay one is ... ahem ... let's just be kind and say the dial is tired.

·First it's not a Calatrava, because it's an Omega and not a Patek. Dial is interesting but barely acceptable to many, a bit too much patina for a dress watch, second hand is incorrect. Case size at 34mm isn't particularly large but certainly quite wearable.
You could do a lot worse for the money.
I'm sure others will have an opinion.

··Melbourne AustraliaCalatrava is a line produced by Patek Philippe. Nobody else.
That's all there is to it.
Imagine a Longines Royal Oak 🙄, or an Omega Sea Wolf 😲. Same thing in essence.
People flogging watches try to ride on the reputation of PP, and elevate their sometimes shitty offerings to PP levels.
On the other hand, "calatrava style" could be used, but it's still trying to polish a coprolite.
I'm sure @X350 XJR would agree.

·Another proof that watch styles really cut across all brands, in many instances. Serial number dates it to 1957-1958.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorI find anything vintage with a subdial in the Italian market is a calatrava.
We won’t stop it as I noticed a Daniel Wellington called a calatrava style watch in a magazine on a plane a year or two ago.
