    You narrowed it down a bit. I was going to say between zero and infinity.

    PS - It's one of Omega's classic designs. It's a redial, but looks in decent condition otherwise.

    If you can open the back with out damaging it it will have the reference/model number on the case back. You can search eBay for prices. The serial number is on the movement and can give you a rough date.

    Don't try to open the case back yourself if you haven't done this before. Take it to a watchmaker. I think it is a 3950, however. These are uncommon in steel, however the refinished dial will devalue it quite a bit.

    AFAIK the dials on these 3950s should say SWISS MADE at the bottom. If not (like the OP's eBay example) it is likely a redial. N.B. that it didn't meet the reserve. In any case it is worth more than £75!

    You may very well be right, I was just (unwisely perhaps) going by its general appearance as this isn't a model I know. Might the "Swiss Made" be hidden by the lower edge of the case?

    No, it wouldn't be that low. More like in my watch (which I've shown), and also like that in others I've seen.
