Hi all,

New to the forum, but was hoping some folks might be able to offer a bit more info on a watch I received for my wedding. We got it through Auctionata, which I know has a bit of a suspect reputation, but thought it might be good to ask around to see if anyone else had anything they could add. (note: I know that I probably overpaid a bit... had been looking for a tank style omega for a while and was happy to find one!)

The actual watch, with pictures, can be found here: https://auctionata.com/en-us/o/194250/omega-automatic-wristwatch-ref-161013-c-1962

And a bit of info from Omega is here: https://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-details/14685/

Other than that, I've only seen a few others offered for sale. They all look pretty similar to mine.

Thanks in advance, and happy to be part of the community!

 

The autionata link isn't working for me.

 

Hm... just tried and worked for me. But maybe one of these might work better.

Otherwise, it's #1 here: https://auctionata.com/en-us/s/499/c

 

Thought someone might be able to help, so bumping this up with a pic of the watch! Thanks in advance!

 

The auctionata link works for me. I can't see anything obviously the matter, subject to the caveats that: a) this is a model I don't know anything about, b) there is no close-up dial photo - and dial refinishing is the number one authenticity problem with vintage watches, c) there is no movement shot, which is odd as they've included a pic of the inside case back. Maybe they are trying to hide something or maybe they were just in a hurry and don't really care anyway, which seems more likely. So if you want an informed opinion I suggest a front-on close-up of the dial.
