    Hi everyone I have an elderly neighbour who would like to have his watch repaired but want to know if it's worth doing. I cannot find anything about it for him. Wondered if anyone could help. It's an omega womans watch and 18k gold. But the bezel is so badly scratched I can't see model. Can anyone identify??? Please

    Clear picture of the dial and back of the watch?

    Preferably the inside of the caseback and movement.

    That's one of the problems the bezel is so cloudy you can hardly see through, can make out omega but not anything else. Will get pic of the back for you. Cheers

    Try a small dot of toothpaste on a soft cloth and see if you can polish the crystal a bit to improve clarity.

    The bezel is actually the metal ring around the clear cover (the crystal).

    Well that's because it's actually a fake/counterfeit.

    Sorry for the bad news.

    Agreed it’s not a real Omega. There are multiple reasons. Mostly the movement is not an omega.

    I think the movement is a very cheap pin-lever, and will be hard to repair because it's made as an disposable object.
