·Hi, I'm new to watches and considering purchasing this vintage Omega Watch I found online but I need more opinions from more experienced and knowledgeable watch collectors. Something in my gut tells me this is fake or too good to be true and I don't know why.
The dial seems too clean and intact for its presumed age.
The silver on the sides and on the back are scratched up and look like brass underneath. Was this common for old Omega watches? I thought Omega watches would be real silver and not plated, let me know if that's normal for this kind of watch.
The serial number shown on the movement suggests the watch is from the 1910's, does the style of watch matchup to that time period?
Those are the only questions I have about the watch but if anyone has anymore info to give me that'd be greatly appreciated as I'm interested in learning more about Omega timepieces as they look very beautiful, especially the older ones. Thanks!
