Hi All,

I'm new here, learning to be a watchmaker - I have an Omega ladies watch 18k with a flip door. Can anyone help me identify this watch?

Thank you in advance

The markings on the back show it as a fake.
Omega also did not write incabloc on the dial.

This watch is base metal and worth nothing.

The movement is probably some cheap generic.

well that’s too bad as it was bought at a jewelry store for my friend’s sweet 16 in 1964

I have to agree, it has all of the well documented indications of a counterfeit.
They were widely produced in Europe in the 1950s/1960s and have subsequently made their way all over the world.

This was sold by a jewelry store in Great Neck, NY - should i assume the jeweler knew it was a fake?

Actually, Omega did print Incabloc on some watch dials in the early days of the Incabloc shock system.

We hear stories all the time about fake watches that were supposedly family pieces, etc. Stories get very confused over 60 years. Just open it up and you'll see.

Opened it up - the movement is Sellita - not ETA which I think Omega was using at the time - there is an Incabloc though! lol

Thank you for your help.

it wasn’t a confused story, the owner has had it in her possession since December 1964 - her parents thought they were buying the real thing so the Jewelry Store is the culprit.

Can you provide an example.

I've seen "Omegas" marked with Incabloc, but never any issued by Omega.
