    Hey experts!

    This is my first thread here, I would appreciate your advice.
    I recently picked up this watch at a flea markter for 50 euros. Have I been ripped off? It seems like the second hand is missing 2014-01-20 22.02.39.jpg 2014-01-20 21.16.03.jpg
    Sorry about the poor quality pictures!

    It's a real Omega movement inside, and the case & crown look authentic too. It's just a really bad repainted dial.

    Say, how's your cousin Harry doing now that he's retired from the movie biz? And was the Colonel your great uncle or grandpop?

    Can you post a picture of the case back? Overall i looks like a genuine Omega bumper cal 351 movement. You are missing the sweep seconds hand and the dial is a poor refinish.

    Either a cal. 351 or 354 (non-chronometer). This could be a Ref. 2577 or similar.

    Movement looks nice and i bet that would go for more than 50€.
