a) There's nothing to "peel off" on a solid gold case.
b) Perfectly acceptable text on the dial for that case reference
c) If Mike recommends it, you don't have to question it. He's the E.F. Hutton of vintage Omega - when he talks, people listen.

 

Thank you, I'm trying to be a sponge for all the knowledge offered here, but sometimes this sponge is a rock.

 

Thanks, I'm not sure sometimes.

 

Thanks, I'll try to remember, If Mike speaks, everyone listens.

This may be my time for gold?

 

It's a decent price to begin with, and if you have the money make them an offer. Pie pans are cool, but a nice gold dome dial is great too.

 

Thanks...

 

And I appreciate your two cents. You and a few others have been my mentor through my journey to learn the vintage Omega watch ins & outs. I thank you. But now, I'm waiting for seller response. Seller already countered & I've countered his counter

 

Good luck!

 

Thanks Gavin, I can use some luck on this

 

I reckon this one is fated for you...

 

I'm currently trying to work it out with seller. I'll let you know if falls apart.

Buyer accepted my offer. Be patient, there will be others.

 

Sometimes, it does "peel off" on a solid gold case and you will see a worn medallion underneath.

 

Okay Hoi, you got me on a technicality - I should amend that to say "there's nothing to peel off an authentic solid gold case".
