    Less than 3 days left on this beautiful 14K gold filled LL 6287 with a clamshell dial and original BOR gold filled bracelet in really good condition. The fact it has been erroneously labelled as a gold watch may drive the price too high unfortunately.

    That one is very nice indeed, much cleaner than the other identical dial that sold recently.

    The seller added a picture saying the watch is gold-filled. It's getting interesting.

    About $1200 in the end. It could turn out well after a good clean and crystal polish imo. The price is good I think, they seem to go for a lot more these days. What do you guys think?

    Its certainly a very nice condition piece for gold-filled, someone really took care of it

    On the photo with the bracelet it can be seen that the golden layer on the "Omega"-sign has worn out and is rather thin. Imho, it looks more like gold-plated and not gold-filled.

    There are no gold plated American references. This is gold filled.

    3h left on this one.

    Please excuse my ignorance but what’s the difference?

    To my understanding, gold plated is 20 microns and gold filled is 40 microns.

    I think the thickness can be whatever the maker wants it to be. It’s the production process that is different.

    Decent Seamaster De Ville with one of the more attractive dials, Cal 550 automatic in gold-filled, lume loss from the hour hand and a rough crown but not hard to solve those in servicing

    This had a starting bid of a couple hundred bucks when I posted it, it’s no longer worth buying at this current opening bid. Maybe the seller will come back down to earth in time as it’s a nice cheap watch but nothing in that territory.
