I'm happy. . .but should I be?

I recently purchased a watch at an eBay auction. It is a 14K,17 Jewel Omega Swiss, movement 485 (What does that mean?) Movement #33233587. The gold band and the watch are all one piece, like a bracelet.

I don't have a scanner, but you can see a photo of a similar watch here: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=373950017&tc=photo

I absolutely LOVE it! Paid $600. All you experts out there: What can you tell me about this Omega? Did I make a decent deal? It seems to be in excellent condition, no chips, scratches, etc. Thanks for your help.
