A jeweler checked the watch. The diamonds are real, but the old cut is of no value. The material of the dial is presumably onyx. Case - pure white gold. Thanks everybody!
Have you bought this watch yet?
I saw them on Avito, but the price was not indicated there, I wonder how much the seller wanted for them.
I think the one who made them thought it turned out beautifully, so he added a good mechanism. He did not have a goal to make a fake, he did it for himself / a friend / as a gift.

I think this watch may have value for Kuwait fans, and the value of the materials, of course.

The OP hasn’t been seen since his last post.

If the materials are genuine then the case may have some value but I think I am fairly safe in saying that a badly cut out photo of a past Emir will have very little attraction to any of the Kuwaitis that I know.

I'm selling this watch. I think you right, the quality is quite adequate for those years and I'm sure the creator really thought this one was good

The diamonds do not look real at all
an impressive level of expertise, but you're wrong

cheap fake hands, cheap fake omega dial, cheap hand-cut photo, cheap not rare omega movement, cheap hand cut/ground case, cheap glued on case-back, cheap looking glass diamonds with no proper color refraction at all, sure they are totally real

If you found a jeweler who confirmed that the case is 18k gold, then maybe he will make you an offer based on melt value. I think that's your best bet. I can't imagine that anyone will be interested in it as a watch.

yes, the value is in the materials, except someone will be interested in buying this "frankenwatch" as a joke

It’ll be quite the challenge to find someone this… “humorous”.
