    A local pawn shop is offering this for around 200$...

    Is it a fake or ? I've never seen one and they don't know how to open it ( I wouldn't touch it as to stay an "uninformed buyer" )
    It's around 5cm lug to lug and 3cm across... The dial is black with a blueish reflection and the "Swiss Made" is all weird to me.
    My Google-Fu is not doing me any favors.

    Thanks! IMG_20200430_130954_2520259037648633845.jpg IMG_20200430_131008_1837510608539469662.jpg IMG_20200430_131015_5370665037588126679.jpg

    Any Idea of a reference number i could try and research? At 200$ it seems a bargain to me when old TV dial geneves are going 3 times as much on the local marketplaces...

    Looks like a reference 155.0005, Omega De Ville "Deauville" from early 1970s.

    Seems like a good deal but its not my cup of tea. Buy it if you like it.

    At 200 if the bracelet fits your wrist and you like it go for it.

    Agreed- and even if it’s not for you, at $200 it would make a nice gift...of course after spending the money on a service...don’t want to give a gift of a watch that craps out 2 weeks later....ask me how I know :oops:

    She got a handwound Geneve :whistling: instead of a Wellington she wanted.
    So this could be my "weird" watch I'll take another look tomorrow.
    You guys are enablers :whipped:

    Don't forget the dial came with many different variations.
