Hey all: I just won an auction on this solid gold Geneve, and now I'm having reservations, as I can't find ANYTHING online about it. It is supposedly ref 131 021.

Here's the eBay link.

Does anyone know if this is legit, or should I cancel?

Looks perfectly fine to me.

Google "Omega 131.0021" and do some research (like you should have done before buying).

I know, I know -- I always do, except in this case I got kind of excited after stumbling upon it with minutes to spare. 😀

Hey, that's my move. But in all seriousness, I couldn't find anything in Omega's database, which led me to a bit of concern. Thanks!

I think the 031.021 doesnt have roman numerals. Its probably a redial. Heres how the 031.121 should looks like.

Dozens of dials offered on this reference, including the Roman one on OPs watch.

Do you have any more info on that? I'd love to think it's an original dial -- but it's also in suspiciously good shape.

In fact, theres is a couple watches on ebay with the same dial with roman numerals, but I can tell you they aren't common as the 131.021 showed in omega data base. Thats why I was suspicious about It.

I saw one last week which I didnt find today. It was probably sold already.
There's this one I found on eBay, it says 131.029, but the backcase doesnt seem to fit right
