Hello everyone!
I came across this watch in a bag of jewelry. I was trying to find information and discovered that on October 28, 2012, a similar watch was sold at auction for $1,031 (screenshot attached). I'd like to know what I have in my hands: the model, the year... and, of course, the price.
Thank you very much for your help!

It's a converted pocket watch/marriage watch with a fanciful skeletonised main plate on a cheap bracelet.
The case dates to about 1925 so the movement will be about the same.

The original watch never left the Omega factory looking like that.

As to value?
To a person who is looking for a watch and does basic research, it's worth nothing.

Put it on eBay starting at one dollar and it will find it's value.

A whole lot of work was put into mutilating a good old Omega pocket watch.

You missed the sales attachment, but that is valueless to basically everyone. Other than the PT Barnum types, I wouldn't expect anyone to pay basically anything for that. In addition to the above, I'd guess the hands/engraving/fake-dial-thing to be VERY recent, as it looks like the crappy cast almost-metal indices.

Which, btw, makes me irrationally(rationally?) angry: HOW did they choose which index was Arabic and which were roman numerals? I see 12/6/1/9? Or is the glare confusing me on the 1?

Unfortunately, it has no real value, but you never know what someone will pay for it.

I wouldn't expect anyone who frequents this forum to buy something like this, but to say it has no value is ridiculous. Throw it out there on eBay, but don't expect it to bring anywhere close to the $1k figure you cite. A few hundred bucks from an unsophisticated buyer, however, would not shock me.
