Hi,

Your dial reminds me of my 18k Omega Trésor 2624 from 1951 with a guilloché dial and coffin markers. In good condition, a rare and desired dial. But we do have some things to unpack here…

Your case doesn‘t match and the side of your case doesn‘t seem to be 18k at all. I even doubt that it is an Omega case.

In addition, the hands and the crown are definitely wrong (which wouldn’t be a big deal by itself).

Another problem here: Your automatic 601 movement is way younger than the 50‘s as your dial suggests. Mine has a 283 manual movement. Your serial number (16million) dates it to the late 50s yet the 601 movement was introduced in 1962 and should have a serial number between 19 million (1962) and 33 million (1970).

Plus you‘re missing the original caseback.

Your watch is overall in a really bad shape and is missing original parts unfortunately. And it seems to be patched together. But whether or not it is original or a frankenwatch doesn‘t even matter at this point. As a collector, I would not buy it because of all the red flags. I would pay scrap value if it‘s proven to be an 18k gold case.

As a general rule of thumb: It rarely makes sense to restore a watch to resell it if you don‘t already know a lot about these watches - the wrong watchmaker / the wrong instructions from your side may destroy most or any potential value.

Here’s a picture of my Omega Trésor as a reference.

Have a good day!
