Hi,
Just joined forum and received my first vintage purchase, can anyone offer advice, looks to have gold hands but silver hr markers, any help eould be appreciated.

Advised it is 1962-1966 613 movement, but would appreciate thoughts on authenticity?

Cheers John

 

The hands were most likely changed at some point. The good news is that correct steel coloured hands are available.

Get one of these and take the caseback off


There will be six digits on the inside of the caseback denoting the model number. Google Omega XXX.XXX to learn all about your watch!

 

Hey thanks very much for the reply, excuse my ignorance but would I not use a watch wrench to remove case back?

 

You certainly can use a wrench if you want to. I always try the ball first because there is no danger of slipping and damaging the caseback.

 

Got it off think it is 136.011

 

What did you find out, after Googling the reference number?

 

Believe it is now Seamaster 600 (136.011) not sure of year of if hands should be a different colour

 

Efauser,
Think it may be the one on the right of the below picture

I may be wrong though, new to this

 

See comments added further down on thread, but may be incorrect

 

Could very well be the 600, according to the Omega Vintage Database. http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-...ache=1&cHash=e7f1caa598b6485a3d29c30bec8393de

 

Identical to my reference 136.011 but mine has a cal. 611 inside and has 600 on dial. Serial number
dates mine to ~ 1964.

 

Hi, my hour markers look a silver colour but hands are gold, what are yours?

 

Looks much better than mine

 

My watch has silver hands and dial furniture. Hands and hour markers should match...probably replaced hands on yours. However the hour and minute hands style looks correct, should just be silver/steel though. But second hand looks wrong.

 

Thanks, i was kind of thinking that was the situation, do you know where i could buy correct hands? I have only seen hands on ofrei.com but not sure which ones are correct/best, appreciate you taking the time to feedback.
