    How much would you pay for that piece?

    BIN is AUD $830 :eek:

    Movement has been badly cleaned (maybe overcooked in an ultrasonic tank)
    Case has been polished so the lug surfaces have been softened.
    Dial may have been re-painted (I think has been done)
    Crown is suspect

    So, as a collector grade item it's worth about $1.50 (pick your currency).

    As a watch for somebody just wanting a vintage Omega to wear, it's priced at about the limit for Oz, I'd pay just over half if I really wanted it, but I don't.

    Better ones around, keep looking and learning.

    Cheers

    Jim

    This is really informative. Any links to where I can find information to start making some informed decisions?
