Most likely a counterfeit, or at least a poorly repainted dial, which may be why you couldn't find something similar. Can we see a photo from the back?

Nice game you're playing, that is obviously a watch for sale on Chrono24 based on the watermark. So either your story is fake, or you're cynically trying to leverage the forum knowledge to enhance the sales listing of your heirloom.

Anyway, it could be a legit 1970s Seamaster in a plated case with a repainted dial, which still has no value. Omega watches from this era are not really appreciated by collectors, so not something I've paid much attention to.

After seeing your photo, I won't be providing additional feedback. The reference number and serial number are inside. Have it opened and figure it out for yourself.

Yes I'm away from home but this is the same watch from google, just can't find much information on it. I can add plenty more photos when home.

Thanks

70s watch. Get a watchmaker to remove caseback and advise us of model# on inside of caseback and serial# on movement
Don’t try to open yourself without proper tool or skill …see so many scratch and damage their watch and significantly lower value…

@tmallo its a common mistake for new members to post blurry pics or pull pics off the web and say “I’ve got a watch like this, can you tell me about my watch ?”

Subtle details are everything in the watch world.

Post clear sharp pics of the actual watch; dial, rear and sides with hands away from any text and if you get the watch opened you will need pics of the inner case back and movt showing the serial number.

As several experienced members have said, for any accurate info/assessment, you’ll need to post better pictures.
However, we can see the dial has been repainted which significantly impacts the value on an already entry level watch from the period when Omega was in decline. As a rough estimate I’d say it’s early-mid 70’s and worth £200-250. Obviously the sentimental value may be much greater.

I think the first picture is his watch isn’t it and the second picture is generic?

Either way, backs up the need for better photos
