    Any opinions on this recent purchase would be appreciated, I am still waiting delivery the ebay ism number is 251623455626. I am assuming the box and card folder are not original to the watch (mate not original at all?).
    Thanks Guys

    well done on your purchase. Apart from box and manual, no card??

    also, if 3570.50, wondering who caseback is stamped 1450022 / 3450022? dial and hands correct for 3570.50, but i'm wondering if this is a 145022, with service dial and hands instead??

    look forward to seeing the other more seasoned experts reply !

    I'm a total novice when it comes to the finer details of watches, soloing as it is original I am happy (I'm paranoid about getting stuck with a fake). If it is original I am not too worried about there being no card (there was no card included). In view of your comments I to will be interested in what others have to say.

    I am intrigued too. I can confirm it is not an out and out fake, and all the parts look genuine Omega to me. But wether or not it left the factory with that caseback, hands and dial I do not know.

    There are differences between reference numbers and case numbers, the 3570.50 and the new reference that replaced it are not new watches, just new references to describe the same case that's been in production since around 1968. 145.0022 / 3450022 is exactly what a 3570.50 should have, the watch is spot on.

    Looks fine to me but quite well used.

    7775 serial would put it later than 2006 in my opinion. I have a Limited Edition from 2006 with a 1861 movement and 7717 serial.

    I also have a 7777 - its a special edition which was not available before 2012.

    7775 would be around 2010 I believe.
