    I bought an older Omega Deville quartz watch from overseas . The dial and case look okay but the movement looks like a cheap Swiss generic, and it has no Omega identifying marks. It has no quality-looking machined metal parts. I'm assuming this is a replaced movement, not original Omega. Is that correct?

    I don't recall seeing a Deville without an Omega marking on the movement.

    My Seamaster 396.0956 had a similar looking movement

    Can't get any better pics as it was shifted a few months back...

    Looks like the original movement has been replaced with a generic ETA movement of the same type.

    Cheers, Al

    With a better picture, we might be able to decipher the stamp at the movement's bottom left: it is not "1430", but most probably an ETA logo, similar to the one in this picture of a Longines 163.2 (ESA 255-122):

    Many thanks. I am returning the watch because the Omega movement is gone.
