hello I am Joseph from Lugano present a new user, I took some time ago Omega Mark II 861, watching because I realized that it is identical to the golden mark, can anyone help cpire something? It could be a power failure? grazi to all

 

the
case back

 

Ciao Guiseppe,
if my Italian was better I could fully understand your introduction
The caseback though looks fine for the Mk 2.

 

I apologize for mistake I put the text in Italian how do I correct?

 

this caseback is for MArk II gold not for mark II steel

 

Tell me more? Reference number?

 

Ciao Giuseppe!
First of all congrats for your new entry... it has superb conditions.
Then, about the caseback... It's not the only one I've seen... It seems that for a few number of 145.014 Omega had used the 145.034 case backs... A sort of switch between the two references.

 

damned..should be a 014 of course! You see, I didn't fully understand your question

 

32857376

I can not read if the third number is an 8 now I can not open the 'clock

 

wonder if the cap can 'be a mistake of supply seems to me that the mark II gold caseback

 

thank you Dear Luca, but my caseback

is that the mark II Gold

 

I believe there is a steel 145.034 I remember Archer mentioned it when someone also had a steel 145.034

 

It is but the case back is the gold Mark for me,

 

mark in the gold pad below the omega symbol there is the tooth, while in the bottoms mark in steel is not so

 

in the second pad you see that under the omega symbol the teeth are staggered

 

As I've said many times previously, what people here refer to as the reference or case number, is in reality only a partial case number, so the confusion continues. The numeric portion of the case number only tells you the style of the case, not the material. The material is determined by the letter prefix to the case number (bolded for clarity). The 145034 (1450034 with current numbering) comes in three different materials as shown below.

055BA1450034 | CASE 18CT.2N YEL.GOLD CAL.0861

055MD1450034 | YEL. PLAT. CASE CAL. 861

055ST1450034 | STEEL CASE CAL.0861

Clearly the case back shown, being made of stainless steel, is not for the solid gold watch...

Cheers, Al

 

it is all clear, in fact the mark Gold 861, there are two types of bottoms, as seen on the net, I just wanted to see if my mark II may be corrected to have the case back as photos

 

Solid gold will have a solid gold case back. Gold plated will have a stainless steel case back. When you say "gold Mk. II" you don't specify if you are referring to the plated version or the solid gold piece - this is why I said the stainless steel back is clearly not for the 18k solid gold watch...

 

I think maybe by mistake could have mounted the bottom of a gold mark, it would make the piece unique

 

If you are referring to the solid gold version, yes it would be a mistake and a franken.
