Just purchased this puppy, it is on the way home.
Can anyone tell me more about it?
How much it is worth?
How rare it is?
When it was made?
Any history at all would be a great help!
Thx

 

KM6324 is on the case. The movement is a 563 I believe.

 

Hello and welcome. What has your research discovered so far?

 

The omega database says nothing on this # I have only seen one other post...here it is.

https://omegaforums.net/threads/wes...-watch-arrived-today-a-couple-questions.7602/

 

Not the same watch ...

 

This is the closest I can find (6323 instead of 6324): http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-watches-database?ref=20417.

 

I saw that one too LuLu....since this # is not searchable in the database is it not genuine? Or does this happen often?

 

What you paid is what it is worth

So what's it worth?

 

Lol I got it for a total of $267

But it could be worth much more. Or it could be with $50
I took a gamble hoping it will be a nice long term investment gift for my son.

 

I have just found that the movement is most likely from 1971...nothing else to report.

 

Not a bad price for a watch.

 

I'm new to the game but from what I understand the database has some holes in it, so I wouldn't assume that it's not genuine.

Hopefully one of the experts will come round and provide a bit more info. The price is good in my (newbie) opinion.

 

I don't think you've done a bad deal

 

Are BUMPS ok?

 

Generally it's acceptable to bump once a day if no activity. This watch has classic 70's styling. It's on the small side, probably 32 mm which is not for everyone. I prefer smaller watches. I like the red second hand and the way the minute track is divided. The movement is actually pretty accurate and if running properly can easily be adjusted to work within 5-10s a day with the micro-regulator screw.

 

And what is this micro-regulator screw you speak of?
Do you feel i got a good value for the price?
Have you seen one like this before?

 

The micro-regulator is the bit that is broken on your watch, sorry to say.

 

I see what you are talking about after looking at other pics of the movement
....dern....maybe I need to not have this shipped to me... how bad will it run without it and how much to fix it?

 

Yep....how much will tht set me back?
The watch is dern close to flawless otherwise....
Someone must have tinkered with it yeah?
