I inherited this watch a few years ago and have been trying to find out more about it this past year. I have already had some work done (new gasket and cleaning) and it is again not working. I would like to know an approx. value before proceeding with more work. I have the numbers from inside and they are not a possible combination according to Omega's records. A very reputable watch repair shop told me it is genuine. Here is the info. he gave me while he had it opened up:

movement caliber: 1020
movement serial: 38249003
case style: 166.0188

It does not have a collection name on the face (ie. Seamaster, etc) which has made it harder to research. It has a gold band, which may or may not be original. It does have the Omega symbol on the clasp. Any information is appreciate. Or point me in the right direction to further my research.

Thanks!
