··Ash @ ΩFIts not worth a fraction of the asking price, you can do way, way better with 600 euro

·Whst do you mean by that?
See the “How to fish” thread.
Look carefully at the dial text, font, markers etc. when you assess a watch. If the pictures are as low quality as above and you can discern how bad the minute marks are distributed, then it’s really a bad refinished dial.

·If you have the case assayed and it is truly 18k gold, then it might be worth 600 Euro. But the watch itself has little value.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoGenuine Omega movement, serial number dates to ca 1958.
As I speculated previously the case is generic and appears to quite low in actual gold weight, that along with the aforementioned refinished dial even 450€ is too much.

·I have sent photos Mac, i need your opinion man
As already stated by @X350 XJR the movement is genuine, its a cal. 267 and does not look bad.
The case is a third party case / contract case maybe of some local production - not from Omega.
My thoughts if the gold purity can be confirmed: I guess there is about 10-12g of 18K gold which would result to about 430 - 515 €
because scrap value for 1g of 18K gold is at appr. 43€ (42.948 to be precise) today.
So the movement for about €100 value is for free, which is a bonus.
At €450 you can give it a go. 👍
Of course its no collector´s piece but there will be no loss.
just my 2 cents...
PS: and its no Calatrava...
