This watch is for sale on another forum I frequent and I (perhaps foolishly) made an offer before doing as much research as a probably should. The offer has been accepted but I have not paid yet so I still have time to correct my mistake (if I did indeed make a mistake).
The subject watch is a 1953 Tissot, supposedly 14k solid gold. A couple questions - Would it be normal to have a steel/gold plated case back on a solid gold watch? Also would it be normal to have a 14k gold watch from 1953? I read somewhere that only 18k and up is "legit" in Europe but not sure if that is true.
Here's the watch:

What would a fair price be for this? It's listed at $650 but based on some feedback I've gotten on other timepieces this seller has listed, I think that may be high.
