    Thank you for new topic!
    I not write this one but question is...
    This is Genuine Fake Omega?
    Is only 3 links by 3 watch for see you!
    Example
    Photos from eBay cannot copy!
    Sorry I not found example for 8 K gold watch from Omega or Ref for period of production!
    This is De Ville with 4 Ref number This is normal
    It’s a big Joke!

    As @X350 XJR pointed out, this section is not for questions. Start a thread to ask about a specific watch.

    Weird dial (MYO instead of MOY) and weird case number 1685415. Didn't find the reference number anywhere on aadf0e3c-6f9e-4fb9-91f6-e4765521bb57.jpg 2ac334be-28fb-4dfc-8248-f5e6bcd66b83.jpg fdabdcc4-f24e-42cc-84f7-c63e77ba90e4.jpg OF nor on Desmond's blog.

    Ok fair enough, but what about the case number? (taking the risk of being told off by asking a question in here)

    Welcome to the forum @iamvr -
    Although this is not the place for questions and just posting known fakes (some members are sticklers on that), and a separate thread would be more appropriate to gain education- I feel your question is in earnest so will quickly address it.
    I am not an expert on these but from what I have gleaned here on the forum is that it was not uncommon for Omega to ship movements with dials/hands to a country that had extreme import duties on precious metals to have them cased in that country. In this case, it's an English made gold case made to Omega specs. As the case makers varied from country to country- so can the markings- but they are very much correct for the watch and were sold through an Omega dealer.

    Thank you @JwRosenthal for your comment. I googled the case number, searched here on OF and case and calibre matcher on Desmond's blog. Couldn't find any reference so I thought it was a well made fake and useful for other members to see. Apparently I was wrong. Anyhow, I will start a separate thread in the future. Thank you again for taking the time.

    It could very well be a fake (although the markings and hallmarks look legit to me, but as I said, these aren't my wheelhouse so I wouldn't be comfortable making a claim either way)- but for the purposes of this thread- we try to only post here as a cautionary if we know for sure that it is a fake.

    Sorry you’re being treated this way. I guess some thrive on being the bully.
