I've been offered this watch and I like it a lot. What do you think about it? It's a little cheap, and that brought me some doubts. What do you think about it? How much would you pay for it? It'd be my first watch. Thank you very much.
On the surface, it looks like an attractive case and an extremely patinated dial, making this a love/hate watch. On one hand it's case condition will attract a lot of interest and on the other hand, the look of the dial will turn a lot of people off. I'd hate to put a value on something like this, but I would love to hear what the asking price is. The bracelet is awful - an aftermarket addition extremely commonly found on vintage watches.
Also the crown is incorrect and looks to be corroding. Definitely want to consider swapping that one out with a correct one.
looks good to me. honeycomb dial has aged and can not be cleaned anymore. but is has a consistent patina and i`d get is serviced for $ 100 and wear as is and be happy. kind regards. achim
Buy it, and post pictures of it on your wrist here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/the-brown-watch-ugly-stepchild.40200/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/are-you-down-with-brown.34849/
It's certainly better than originally thought. I couldn't tell on my phone that it was a textured dial.
Looks like a steel and gold shell case in decent shape. Likely a caliber of 355, date at 6:00 model. Dump the bracelet. The “wafflle” dial likely originally looked like the one in the image, here.
