    If you would provide better photos, we could provide better answers but based on the crappy ones provided, it looks like a redial.

    Genuine. Looks like a savage dial cleaning rather than a redial.

    Better photos would help.

    Try to use a device designed to take photographs, not one designed to communicate.

    I'm sure you're right but either way not terribly appealing.

    As mentioned above it's all original, a Seamaster De Ville but the dial is so badly faded the text is almost gone, not even possible to tell if it's a manual or an auto. All right if it's very cheap indeed and you're not too fussy, otherwise wait for something better.

    Hello ... it's off an old guy ... he says was his dads.. it's a manual wind ..not seen the watch in person yet but I did like the style of dial . How much would something like this be worth ? It is in working order.. I just havnt seen that strap on any other omega so it questioned me

    Impossible for me to say as I just wouldn't buy it. You need to look at ebay Completed Items and make your own assessment. The bracelet is just another Omega variant, nothing fake about it.

    Real watch, real buckle, non-Omega bracelet.

    I don't think 280 pounds is particularly cheap for that watch, given the dial issues.

    Didn't know about the non-Omega bracelet but I believe you - cats don't lie to each other... I also think it's not worth £280.

    It's worthless to me but a little research on the eBay sold listings will answer your question.

    Sounds about right for a good one, but a long way off for one in this worn condition. As mentioned above, it's basically worthless to a collector and that's what most of us here are.

    Sorry but it is a correct genuine Omega bracelet in its entirety. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean its not genuine.

    I was wondering what the heck "WAFFLEPOD007" was scratched into the case back, then I realized it was "WATERPROOF" and just very worn.
