I’d be mostly concerned about the dial damage, especially around 6-8 o clock. The case will clean up nicely, movement can be fixed or replaced, but I doubt the dial will turn out beautifully.
Not a bad 168.005 Cal 561 out of a Vegas pawn shop, US shipping only ending in 12 hours

Did anybody get it at $1,036 usd? I’m really curious if under the glass the dial is clean.
Only 3 hours until this goes off, Geneve 131.070 Calibre 601 hand-winder, great watch in great condition, well worth owning, still only $289 at present

It is a bit of a no frills model, but the condition is quite good. I agree someone got a better than average deal.
They are no frills but I’ve had some of these Geneves that look condition wise like they’re made in 2020 not 1971, the cal 600 series just works and is pretty much bulletproof and the money is in the ballpark or an Apple Watch for a genuine Omega which is why I recommend them so much, if it were a Connie in that condition you would be paying well over $2k for a similar movement with a more fancy dial and case.
For anyone dipping their feet in vintage for the first time or even a young person buying their first good watch the Calibre 565 / 600 series Cosmics and Geneves are among the best recommendations I can make in terms of the amount of high quality watch you get for your money.
Hi all ..
I am new here and this is my first post - can i ask for help here to find out what my vintage omega is worth ?
It is gold 14k watch from 1963, cak 269.
No paper no case.
...and now around twice the price compared to when I got into vintage watches.
This looks revolting in the photo and the dial isn’t perfect, it’s patinated but under the years of wrist snot and bad crystal is a quite pretty 2852 Constellation piepan and from the bezel and lugs it doesn’t look like it’s ever been polished as the edges are very sharp. It won’t end cheaply but arrowhead dials like that rarely do.

Seamaster Cosmic Calibre 565, these are gold plated and due to the age and sharp edges of the cosmic there are very few of these cases that survived fully intact. This one is one of the nicest examples, although not perfect that I've seen pop up on ebay in quite some time. Very nice dial and hands and a very good watch to have as a daily wearer.
Ends in 6 hours.
