You got the location right but it might be a good idea put in a little effort yourself.

Is this for insurance purposes, or are you looking to buy? If the latter, please list the asking price.

If this is for selling, you need to do your own homework first. And that includes taking better photos, removing the caseback to get the movement info and reference number.

In general, the gold-plated models are not values as highly as ss or solid gold models. And the hands look like they have been relumed. The dial is too out-of-focus to tell much.

Effort meaning......

Take the back off, find the reference number and calibre number, google ‘age of omega’ find a list and use reference number to find age, use that info to google/ eBay for similar watches already sold, there’s your valuation.

I learnt the above by joining this forum In April and reading other more expert posts.

Thank you for the additional information. In that case I can comfortably say that even without clear photos of the dial and movement the watch is not worth the asking price -- and by several hundred dollars.

It's a Ref.166020. I sold some at 700 USD. 1000 is too much. If you want to buy something you should do your own homework first.

Take the back off
Keep in mind for next time that this is a unishell. So taking the back off will be quite difficult. But probably you knew this. 👍

It's irrelevant in this case but also bare in mind that this is an Australian forum with a global audience so some watches that may be worth Aus$1000, won't be worth £1000 GBP so currency is important.

Good point -- I read the 1000 and did not even notice it was not led with a $. So my pricing comment is based on $ (USD).

Now it's probably worth 1000 rubles. Maybe even 3000.
