Hi I purchased this with watch box papers for new strap and the last chap wanted the orange tip removed from the secondhand, searching it’s history it should have a orange bezel, does the bezel look authentic and the rest of the watch ok? Thank you

Show the papers and warranty card. So we know what model it is....

How much did you pay ?

I modded mine. 2201.50 It started out with a black bezel. Your original owner may have not liked the Orange Bezel wth Orange Numbers, like me. Your looks ok, Caseback and serial number looks ok. I am no expert, but merely showing you that they can change their colours.. They are a great watch.. EDIT: Second hand tip has since faded on mine. I call it the service dip stick indicator. They ALL fade over time.

Hi thanks for your help so far, that’s exactly what he said, he didn’t like the orange! The papers box etc are at home (I’m at work)to my ok eye it does seem ok, the date changes crisp, bezel clicks nice and the lume is like a torch I’m no expert but keep hearing how good these super clones are I started to worry about this watch in my collection

If you get yours serviced do you use omega? I looked at the price 430 but understand that it’s very thorough re finish and new hands

no very close 81775345 whys that? 😀

Because I can help...

Serial number: 81775345
Article ref: 29095038
Version of movement: 2500C

So this watch originally had the orange bezel, and someone has swapped it for the black bezel.

Cheers, Al
