Here's an admission of I think I'm selling the not real deal......

Seriously? That's like asking any chance I don't have a $100 dollar bill in my wallet: my guess, and it is only a SWAG, is that either its Omega, its stock ETA/Valjoux or it's a piece of chocolate. I'd rather discount the prospect of the latter but without you pinging the back off who can say?
C'mon..... reveal all.

 

Hi, I am new here and new to Omega watches as well. I wonder if anyone could guide me as to the authenticity of this watch. Many Thanks.

 

Omega Constellation, similar to the "Manhattan" style. Not fake.

 

Thank you for the reply Jim. Just a couple of points about the watch. It is quite light weight, nothing like the weight of a Rolex for example. Also, the second hand is not smooth, but stops on each second. It also keeps moving when the crown is pulled out to adjust the time. I wonder if any of the features might add to or detract from its authenticity.

 

Point 2 - It's a quartz movement, so there's is a quartz crystal vibrating at a billion cycles per second, then there's is a circuit that divides those little pulses into one second "blips" that kick the second hand around.

Point 1 - The movement is mostly plastic and wires, as opposed to a brass mainplate and bridges in a manual/automatic. And as the movement is much thinner than a typical mechanical one, the case is therefore thinner and consequently lighter than a chunk of stainless you get with a Rolex.

Point 3 - With a quartz movement, when the crown is pulled out, it either jams a stick in the little cogs, or turns the battery off, or it doesn't do anything except engage the hand setting components (I don't know what method the cal 1445 uses). Therefore, as the hands don't stop you can't "hack" the time, like those guys in war movies do.

But that's why Delta Force don't use these watches on special ops, only in the O's Mess after the mission.

Hope this helps with your watch learning.

Cheers

Jim

 

That’s great. Thank you for your reply Jim.

 

Good afternoon. I'm considering taking this watch at collateral for a cash loan to a close friend. Can you give me some insight as to it's authenticity? If I need better pictures I can take them with another camera and better lighting.

 

Looks good to me

 

Please guys, what do we think of this? It might make a cheap beater if it's real and I'm assuming that if the vendor could have got the scratch out of the crystal he would have done so....
Photos aren't the best.....

Hello guys, would like to ask if this is fake?.
Thank you,

 

total fake. Observatory stars and roman numerals look like they fell off a truck.

 

Looks like a ladies Connie from about 1987/1990. Based on those pics it's impossible to tell.

Omega made hundreds of variants like this so before we jump to conclusions.........................

Need hi res shots with correct lighting and a pic of the movement inside the watch.

BTW, is there a number on the caseback?
Are there any numbers on the back of the end links?

 

none. only 1468/861 but i will try to open it to see whats inside.

 

I find this one on YouTube disturbing on the new 600m planet ocean, looks identical.

 

... except for the movement that we can clearly see thanks to the sapphire crystal case back... ;-)

 

This one shows the movement of a genuine 600m, what are the key giveaways on the fake?

Also found this one in Spanish on a fake 600m, It’s made me pretty sceptable About trying to find a deal on eBay or online.

Can Anyone translate the jist of this one?

 

Hi all; does this listing look right to you? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/183168681217
I’m after a ‘first omega in space’ but didn’t think it came with that big box and all the extra ‘legendary’ kit; I thought that was only for the professional.
(This is the box / kit I’ve seen before)

Was this ‘legendary kit’ an option or is it wrong for this watch do you think? Many thanks in advance
