·Ive recently bought this watch for $2000.
It is an Omega 18k rose gold, metal indices, honeycomb dial with 30T2 movement from 1944 (it also got the red star)
I know the combination of the above (especially the small seconds in a circle, the 12,2,4,8,10 instead of the regular 12,3,9 and the honeycomb together) is rare. I have found almost none of them out there, and seen identical one before for more than double of that.
The point is that it was listed as factory original dial, which it is not.
The only eye poking "defects" are the indices of 3 and especially 9. The rest is minor but you can clearly see the dial hd been refinished in some sort.
And now comes the question:
I really like the watch design, the exact combination of that characters is almost unobtainium. But regardless the heart - what would be a realistic price tag for this, considering this rare piece was restored in some way?
Keep in mind i can get the indices replaced to ones original to the design one day.
The seller offered refunding me $180 (funny huh?) or a return for a complete refund.
I have to know in about how much money ive got cheated, as return time window may be closed soon.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Whole watch:
Replaced indices:
I guess the dial had been restored...
Not sure if paranoid, but this popped up as well:
PS if anybody knows the reference - that would be cool. I couldn't find any, but I've understood it is common for the era.
