·Hi,
I recently purchased an vintage omega de ville watch off ebay, as I was drawn in by the roman numerals. I just wanted to get an opinion if it is authentic:
ebay listing
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291121317661?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
According to the listing, it's reference number is 151.0039 which according to the Omega database would put it's date of production around the 1970s.
I found the same(?) model being sold as spares,
http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...8562&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0
and a key difference is the "De Ville" lettering, and it seems that the one on mine is markedly differently, and I have a feeling that it is a refinished dial. What do the experts in this forum think? Real, refinished dial, or complete fake?
Also, how should I go about searching for a replacement stone for the crown or replacing the crown completely? Cheers!
