Hello everyone. İ just got a new watch. Seller says it is 18K Gold. But most of them has 18K 0,750 stamp on case back. Can you help me if this is solid gold?

Hello! What a nice watch - but then I would say that... 😉


Your caseback serial number differs from mine by less than 1200.

The case of your watch is French rather than Swiss, so the 18kt hallmark you are looking for is not the head of Helvetia, but that of an eagle. I think I can just see in your photo where it might be...

It is much plainer in your other photo, of the maker's mark. Now, when it comes to the interpretation of the "P(?G)F" mark, we have an entire thread, here! (And more besides.)

It's a french cased 18k omega from the late 40s. If I had seen it, and had some spare cash, i'd be tempted if the price is right - it's a pretty watch 😀
