    What are your thoughts on this piece? Can anyone identify it? Owner states it’s all original and has been stored for years. What’s a good purchase price?

    Common fake from the 70s.

    The Omega stamp on the back was never used on a production Omega. Omega uses a similar style always on the inside case back. Plus the script on the dial is wrong. 17 Jewels on the dial, Omega doesn't do this either.
    It's stamped 18K gold. If you wear this watch for a short amount of time, the gold (color) will wear off....so not 18K.
    Many more but this is a common fake, once you see it, it will stick in your mind for the next time. Then you can just grin and move on. :)

    It may very well be all original and stored for years, its just not an Omega!
