    WATCH 2

    I came across two vintage Omega watches online,
    Would want to request for expert insight of whether the movements of these watches are authentic, fake or a franken.
    Any constructive criticism are welcomed.
    Thank you.

    The movements are perfectly OK.

    However, there's no case number on the back case of the first watch.
    Does that mean it's a replaced case or it's just that way?

    I agree. The movements look good with the 332 looking like it needs a cleaning, but the case and case back on watch 1 look suspect.

    Its hard to tell you much at all without seeing the movement in the context of the rest of the watch
