Which Omega is this…

[Steve_64]

Hello, saw this Omega, in a local shop.
It has no type name on the dial plate. Can it be a Geneve, De Ville or a sea master? It only says calibre, 1012.
Thanks for your advice, Stefan

Model lines became somewhat blurred with many crossovers. But regardless of whether it has a model name or not, I think the tag has the necessary information. Gold-plated Omega from the 1970s.

Ok worth 625 euro you think?

 

[Dan S]

About half of that, IMO, though some would say less.

You don't want to buy a gold plated watch. Eventually the plating will wear through to the base metal, usually brass, and then you will have a very ugly watch that you won't want to wear. If it's gold you want, and you can't afford a watch with a solid gold case, buy gold capped instead -- this is a case with a thick layer of gold bonded to stainless steel and it's much more durable than gold plate. It's also more expensive, but you get what you pay for. You can always tell a gold capped case if you flip it over. The underside of the lugs will be stainless steel with a bit of gold cap partially wrapped around them. Here's my gold capped 1962 Constellation 14900:

20 micron gold plated Omegas are the bottom of the barrel, may be 250 even in good condition. Absolutely nothing about this one to recommend, just not special or interesting and very prone to case wear.

This is true, but I don’t have to make them.
