I could not find anything on this watch and wanted to see if anyone can offer any information

 

fake.....run away. Redone dial and never did Omega put their mark on the back cover. The Omega triangle is always on the inside of the back cover.

 

The back cover picture appear to show pockmarks that show that the "gold" is a plating and that the cover inscription refers to 18k solid.

 

Not much good to say about his one! Notice the pitting on the (ahem!) 18-karat back, with the cheap base metal exposed. If you were considering taking this off someone's hands, bargain hard and he may pay you a bonus for taking it off his hands!

 

Pretty awful vintage fake

 

Ka Ka.... a shiney turd of low quality that at no time has been anywhere near Switzerland.

Toxic waste, Gold in colour only.

Good for shimming that wobbly table with one short leg, just hammer that watch down to the thickness required and tuck it under the offending leg.

I believe Ulackfocus collects the quartz variation of that particular piece...... we might wait for him to chime in.

How much are they willing to pay you to haul that junk away.

 

Unfortunately most of this style of fake were actually Swiss made, usually with cheaper A Schild movements.
This one probably contains a 17j AS1130 incabloc movement.

 

Thank you for your input I suspected that I had already bought it and had it repaired and was in the process of reselling it when I found this out

 

Thank you for your input I suspected that it was a fake after I tried to resell it

 

Other than it being a fake is there any value in this?

 

The only value is in the strap and the movement if somebody is looking for a complete movement or parts.

All of the rest of the watch is junk, especially anything with Omega markings.

 

It has a Seiko strap and not sure of the movement

 

Selling and buying fakes like that (with another fraud concerning the gold value) is against the law of most crountries. You should not buy (or sell) that even for the movement only. Or buy (or sell) the movement alone, without the rest of the "watch".

 

Yes, I should have been clearer in my explanation.

You should get a pair of scissors or a hobby knife or a chisel and remove the caseback, gently remove the watch movement and then remove the dial and hands (you may have to remove the crystal and bezel to get the movement out, pliers are good for this). Do not be concerned about damaging the dial but be careful with the movement, it may be the only thing of real value.

The rest should be carefully disposed of with a hammer.

 

Thank you for the advice I plan on going after the seller from whom I bought it from to recoup the cost of the item and the repair that I paid for and then I will destroy this POS

 

Ok, so you actually had this repaired and it is running well. Did it contain a true Omega movement? Or was it a
"Schild movements,probably contains a 17j AS1130 incabloc movement"? As mentioned by JiminOz? The movement may have some value. But going after the seller is also good, just be level headed. He/she may not have known either. At best they will reimburse you completely. At worse offer some money back. Hope it works out well.
All that said, spend some time around and you will learn what to look for. You can also vet your potential purchase here also. This community tells you how it is and the knowledge contained here is staggering. Hope this does not curb your curiosity into the Omega world.

 

Here is something that I got in hands some weeks ago.

Owner told me he know what he is buying, it was bought in Italy at gas station in 1980s and wore it ever since without service. There was no omega marks on case.

 

Another cheap fake...

 

I suppose you and the original buyer thought this was actually an Omega? Two things disturb me about fakes such as this. 1 / that someone would tell a blatant lie about a watch like this for the sake of a sale, and 2/ that someone could be suckered into actually buying such a piece of carp (sic)! Purchased at a gas station? What were the buyer thinking?
