What you really need to do is follow the instructions in the "Tell Me About My Omega" section in the OMEGA ZONE to get your watch properly identified.

Can't really establish value without knowing the model, age, is it a mechanical or quartz, working, good shape?

But for a broad ballpark, any gold Omega watch roughly like that in good condition should be worth $300-450. Depending on how new it is and whether it is solid gold or gold filled, could be worth more than that.

: printed on strap is: c

Information on the leather strap is meaningless for identifying the watch. Straps are to watches are like tires are to cars--not model specific and owners are free to replace them with any of thousands of generic or other brand choices when they wear out.

: sorry for bad pics

How about moving the camera further back--at least 18 inches away--so that the watch is in focus. Set your camera for the highest resolution possible, then crop the image.

The quality of the photograph will directly effect the quality of answer you will get. Without any clear detail, nobody is going to be able to tell you much other than vague guesses. Could be a fake, could be real, I can't see detail to be able to tell.
