Sorry for the fuzzy photo.
I recently had this watch serviced. I replaced
the gold band (original?) with a leather strap.
It looks more subtle now. The watch has a few
scuffs here and there, but is in great shape for
a 50-yr old watch. Keeps great time. Seems to
tick about 4 times a second. Any ideas as to the
value of this watch?

Is it solid gold? 14k? 18k?, or is it gold cap/steel back?

All gold, no steel anywhere. The back shows the observatory with 8 stars and says "Constellation" and "Waterproof".

Here's what I found on the movement: 24J, 505 (under an omega symbol), "Adjusted five (5) positions and temperatures".

On the inside case back: "Omega Watch Co.", 18K 750, and three serial nos of some sort...267820, and 2852 and 2853 which share the letters SC.

Thaks for the help.

It's going to be $1200 and up depending on the venue.
