Hello to all members.
It was brought to my attention by a friend in this forum that my personal name was being used in this forum.
Sadly society has many that believe they are an authenticating authority without a diploma or certificate in the area they claim to be experts in. The clown above is definitely one of those people.
Personal names should not be displayed in forums. The 120 in question doesn’t have a bezel that clicks. So educated yourself prior ruining other people’s investments.
The watch in question above has many correct features of a genuine 120. The bezel on these models doesn’t click and this is why clowns shouldn’t comment claiming to have authority on authentication of any watch.

The "personal name" displayed on this forum was simply reproduced from another forum, so it's hardly a privacy breach.

There were two "personal names" I could see in that post– one potential scammer and one person warning about a potential scam.

If the latter is the person who made a new account on OF to complain, they can rest assured we are not impugning their good name- in the slightest. And we agree with their judgment of the authenticity of the watch. If it was the former who joined us today, 🍿.

Addendum:

I imagine the faker asking himself : “now where should I write Omega on the movement? Ah, f*ck it, I’ll just stamp it sideways over the S of seventeen jewels... should do the trick.” Lmao

I would value opinions on thIs 1967 De Ville which I am in the process of buying, just in case it is not what I think it is before I part with my cash. I am told it has not been polished and the dial is original.

Thanks for looking and helping out.

Sorry still learning. I posted one in the vintage forums on Saturday but thought it was in the wrong place, perhaps I was right from the outset.
