Hey guys I need a little help. I bought this from an estate I put a aftermarket band and battery in it and it works great.
18 karat gold
I was thinking about listing it on eBay and I want to make sure I put what it is is what it is.
So I thought I would ask the experts first so I don't look like a buffoon

Thank you so much for all your help ✌

A 1980s genuine Omega with Italian made case with a replacement generic ETA quartz movement, presumably as a replacement for the original which would have been Omega signed. It will be of limited value over the metal value would be my guesstimation.

EDIT: just realised it is actually early 1990s rather than 80s, and as noted the lugs are very badly bent. The movement would have been originally Omega marked and stamped (with 1438 maybe) so has been swapped in or had major parts replaced. As I say I don't see there being much above scrap here.

Thank you so much for your time. I purchased it for 18 karat gold scrap value... Put a few extras into it so I have approximately $550 into it.

Thank you again so much for your time
