The hunt continues. This one looks genuine but a bit rough and not justifying the $580 asking price. I am not as knowledgeable as the members of this forum but suspect that $400 may be fair (i.e. $400 + $300 horologist service). The 14K is a bit of a wildcard for me in determining valuation. Is 34.2 mm appropriate for someone 6"0" tall? Would this make an acceptable dress watch for professional appearances? Is the Calibre 550 movement robust? Also, the strap looks to not have the Omega clasp but who can tell from the photos.

I admit that I tried to grab and save an image from Chrono24 but could not because they have some weird coding

You can always post screenshots. However, TBH, some of your questions suggest that you really need to do more research before asking about specific watches. Is 34mm large enough for you, that's up to you, but your height is totally irrelevant. Wrist size, maybe, but still it's up to personal taste. Is it a dress watch for professional appearances? Dress watches and professional appearance are, again, totally different things. Dress watches are for dress, not for work, but a SMDV is pretty versatile. Omega clasp ... that's not for a beginner.

I'd suggest joining a local watch group so that you can handle some watches in-person.

Why would you even consider a watch that is beat to shit, especially a dress watch?
