Looking to get my first vintage omega, is this legit?

Chowber · May 25, 2019

I’m brand spanking new to this scene, but I’ve gone through the “fake vintage omegas” thread and am so grateful for all the info there.

From what I’ve read, the watch I have posted here seems to be legit (but obviously I am still unsure and defer to the experts). There is no photo of the movemement, so I assume that is an unfortunate red flag.

Any and all input would be appreciated, thanks!

It looks very legit.

No movement shots are expected as this is a front loader and difficult for anybody not qualified/equipped to open without stuffing it all up.

The watch is OK based on the pics. The bracelet needs to be canned as the spring loaded end pieces can wear holes in the lugs.

A minor concern if you were to purchase and sell on later is the case back inscription which does not appeal to everyone.
In my case I have a couple of watches with presentation inscriptions and I do like them even more for the history they show.

Thanks for the info! I’m definitely in line with liking it as a part of the piece’s history
