Somebody asked me what the serial number of my watch was. I had no idea so I brought it into the jeweler to be opened. This is what the inside looks like. Is it authentic? Can anyone tell me what time period or year its from?

 

How did the rotor get scratched like that. There are vertical scratches that could not have come from the case back.

 

I have no idea, I got it second hand! I was wondering the same thing

 

looks like a ' Mumbai special' - did it come from India? Parts mostly authentic, but may not be from a single watch and often in very poor condition. Dial refinished, case heavily polished, if you like it wear it, but there wont bea lot of resale value. In terms of finding out more about your watch start by googling the case reference on the inside of the case back....

 

Nope, South Korea.

 

Damn, what a waste of money by me.

 

Where did you pick it up?

 

Pawn shop in Manhattan where I live.

 

@jele , here's one of those specials we talked about earlier!

 

Not necessarily.

 

You bought it because you liked it obviously, so not a waste of money unless you really over paid for it

DON

 

This is the same watch you wanted to list for sale here a couple of weeks ago, isn't it?

 

yep ... the movement seems to have at least 3-4 different hues of "copper" ...

 

Hey, a St. Patrick's Day Omega!
