Igentifying a vintage Omega wristwatch.

Gentlemen,

Omega was neither able to identify, nor to confirm that the pictured watch was of their own manufacture, which for a corporation of such prestige seems extraordinary.

The serial number is 5187099.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Based on the incredibly small photo, I'd say it's a "marriage watch".
That is, a pocket watch movement fitted to a later case and the dial re-painted in what the artist thought an Omega dial looked like.

The only genuine Omega content is possibly the movement.

The serial number is 5187099.

The serial number of the case or of the movement?

I’m curious how you approached them to elicit this confirmation or denial. Asked the 19 year old Saturday boy at your local boutique? Sent a mail to the non existent extract team? Buttonholed an exec in a Bienne boozer?

There isn’t at present AFAIK an official way to authenticate an Omega (or Rolex for that matter). In addition to the temporarily disgraced extract service, there used to be a $1k cert of authenticy service but I’m not sure if that got shut down too.

Is that extraordinary or just business as normal?

ps there are ladies on here too. Not many but deffo some!
