Actually one of my mechanicals is quite silent even when ear is pressed to case. And yes, my hearing is good! I can’t recall which at the moment I will have to go and find it...

 

I got bad news for you....

 

What’s the bad news and whose it for?

 

He quoted who it’s for and I believe he’s saying their hearing isn’t as good as they think

 

I bought mine from an AD in the US and and it only has the name of the store. No address/country code.

 

Thanks I’m new to forums of any sort and even though the help I have received here has put my mind to rest I thought the bad news might be for me but I see how this all works. Thanks again from an embarrassed newbie

 

LOL

 

How's this seamaster? Legit?

 

Do you have a better movement picture?

 

These are the best I have. Waiting for reply from seller.

 

Looks like a bad fake. For starters: the bezel looks like it has an aluminum insert (should be ceramic), the lume pip is hideous (very protuberant and extending beyond the triangle), wrong bracelet clasp, and HE valve is in the wrong position. And that’s just what can be seen with these poorly lit garbage photos.

 

Bezel was the first thing that caught my eye.

 

Yeah. Second this. An easy way to pass off a fake is In garbage lighting... where any watch would look equally bad.

 

garbage Seamaster

 

Among other things, the engraving on the clasp is poorly done. It looks more like “Seanaster” than Seamaster. That and the lines of text don’t align.

 

Hi friends,
I am planning to buy an Omega de ville to father for his birthday. I compare this pics with other referecens and it looks legit. Nevertheless, I am quite knew in vintage watches, and I would appreciate if someone can help me to check if this Omega is fake or not.

Also, it is possible to restore the dial?

Model: De Ville
Reference number: 111.0148
Movement: Manual winding
Case diameter: 32 x 35 mm

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance!

 

First the answers.

Yes it is completely genuine.

No, it is not possible to restore the dial to an original finish/quality.


Now my thoughts.

This watch is gold plated (only 20 micron plate), has a ladies caliber, will probably require servicing, and was made at a time when Omega was in deep doodoo following the quartz crisis so they produced anything they thought would sell.

If you really want this model, there are better examples available, but I would look for something else.

 

Thanks a lot for your comments!
