·What do you think about this watch that’s being sold near me? I believe it’s a reference 135.041. The case back is not original and appears to be gold. Which could be the value?
Non-original gold case back?

··Vintage Omega AficionadoMy guess would be a South American contract case.

·Ok, thanks for the comments. In the end, the watch was sold to someone else. The asking price seemed very low to me, around $400 USD, so I hope I did the right thing by not jumping in.

·Gold melt plus $100 for dial and movement at most.
Any more and you are overpaying.

I must say movement prices are on the rise and I find it hard to find manual wind movements in good asthetic and running condition for under €180-€200, with asking prices higher. More for automatics.

As those movement sit without selling its hopefully going to put some downward pressure on prices, I've even seen a guy with some movement listings and 3-5 remaining, so not just 1 listing but 3-5 of a given movement for sale.

··Ash @ ΩFIf legit 18k, the scrap value would be more than $400.

·I'm sure it is above $400, but I'm trying to remember, some of these South American contract cases were a weird situation where they had almost like a base-metal skeleton or something inside of them to reduce the gold content. It might have just been South American cases for Lemania international or for certain countries, and I don't think I've seen it mentioned in relation to models like this but it's sparked my curiosity.
