Hi I am new to the forum. I have just been approached to sell two possible Omega's for one of my customers. I believe from what I have read in these excellent forums that the Seamaster is probably a 1960s fake. I attach photos. Can anyone just confirm this for me, before I return the item with this news to my customer?

Also I have a 1970s automatic, which looks OK to me - again can anyone confirm whether it is genuine please? Any help you can give me will be much appreciated. I am trying to be a responsible seller, but have limited knowledge of vintage Omega watches. Thank you so much.

If needed I can open and show the movement, but I am a little worried that I may damage them in the process. Linda

 

What type of business are you in if selling for a customer?

Top one needs a hit with a hammer, Fake

 

Thank you for the confirmation - really helpful.

I sell items for my customers online (usually ebay) - I try to only sell things that I can verify, so find forums like this useful. I will sell anything for them, so watches come in from time to time only, so I do not know lots about them. These are the first 'Omegas' that I have seen. Thanks so much for your help. Can't seem to get the back off the 2nd one at the mo, will post a pic if I can get it off. Linda

 

Love the egg shaped "O".

 

I think the 2nd is real.

 

Based on...?

 

Experience.

 

Not good enough for the most of us around here....

What is it in particular that you think the 2nd one is 'real' or 'original' (between marks because the discussion on 'original' or 'real' has not decisively ended yet because the term has different takes on it.)
And, as Gator commented: we lack the pics of the inside.

Just wondering.

I'd be very, very surprised if the second one turned out to be fake. Based on my experience only, naturally.

EDIT: Actually, No Mercy only stated that it was "real", which, I am pretty damn sure it is

 

162.009?

 

Ok, I mainly focus on the overall "oldness" of the watch - then the minute track (alignment with markers & hands) - dial finish - script.
For this watch I want to say it 100% original (except the crystal), but for safetly I just say it "real".
Sorry for my bad English, not my native language.

 

I thinked that too, but confused about the 2 step case back of the 162.009 ???

 

Agree with you: would have been my assessment too
