Hello, and thank you in advance!

I just came into possession of this Omega watch from a lot I purchased. I've tried scouring the internet with the information below, and have only come up with 1 eBay listing that I don't fully trust. Not for sure if its authentic or not, as it did not come with paperwork.

I believe it's from 1960(s).

On the movement:
17923872
OXG
Omega Symbol with 483 under it.
17j, ADJ Two (2) POS
Swiss

From the caseback:
14k Gold Filled
A5276
668887

OXG indicates that the watch was exported to the United States through Omega's exclusive US agent, Norman Morris. It is possible that Norman Morris only imported the movement and used a domestic manufacturer for the case and bracelet.

Don’t be too optimistic about the value there. Being gold filled rather than solid the case has negligible intrinsic value and even though genuine these kind of watches are no longer sought after. Particularly when in need of expensive remedial work. If you get $50 I’d be surprised.

That's what I figured, but it's good information.
