: Could you folks please school me on this vintage omega? It has a
: gold band and case. What do you think its worth? Thanks.

Not sure the ref# of this one, but the dial has been very poorly refinished, the bracelet appears to be gold plated, not gold, and the hands have been painted black. Im guessing that the value is pretty much limited to the watch as parts or gold content, and not as much as a whole watch due to the condition and customization. Not sure the value of gold these days but I would say Max $600 if the bracelet is all gold, not plated or filled, which seems unlikely. As for the watch value, maybe $200 as a project watch if the movement is in decent condition. It will need a dial refinish and some case work. If gold plated, I don't think that the bracelet is worth refurbishing.
