Does This Omega Ref: PX6553 (Cal. 420) Have an Original Case?

ButIDigress · Apr 3, 2024

Hi! I have a quick question about a recent watch purchase. I believe all of the parts on this model are original, but I'm unsure about the case. The lug tips seem a bit too wide. Additionally, I don't think this reference was ever made in gold fill. It's challenging to find information on American-assembled Omegas, but I can only find examples in solid 14k gold.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the gold-filled case model:

Here are some reference photos of the solid gold model:

Clearly the watches pictured are two completely different references.

What makes you think they are related?

you need the reference found on the inside of your case back for us to give any advice.

Yours looks similar to a PX 6270, but the lugs look different in your pic. Any better photos from the front?

Great eye! That's exactly what I think it is. Once received, I'll check and update the thread. Thanks!
