    Found this Omega for sale. What do the experts think and ballpark value? There is no pic of the case back or movement.


    "1979 Omega Automatic datejust watch, caliber 1020, 14k gold filled, with original alligator band, with a box and original documents.Great condition, works and keeps time perfect."

    hi nick no such thing as an omega "datejust" but it would be helpful if you included the seller's listed price.

    Great find. Those were the last in-house Omega, undervalued by collectors and objectively of lower quality than previous series but that one looks like in outstanding condition.

    Those pics are not enough to provide a decent valuation. A photo of the inside of the caseback and the movement would be a good place to start. I've never seen that style clasp, but that doesn't mean much.

    Gold plated no-namers don't have a big following so I'm guessing the value is relatively low.

    Has it listed at $899. I know that it would have to be a Rolex to be a datejust, just not sure what Omega model it would be.

    So I gather from the pictures it looks real? If I can get pictures of the case back and movement, what is a fair price?

    The 10xx movements were in-house movements.

    You recall incorrectly. The 1000 and 1010 series were all “in house” movements.

    They were certainly a change in design philosophy, but were not made by a third party.

    Nothing to do with Lemania.
    Omega never used a Lemania movement without complications. Chronographs, alarm and moon-phase, yes. Never plain automatics or hand wound calibers.
