Not sure if anyone is watching this auction but beware of the redial, replaced crown, and suspect bezel.

CASE BACK IS ALSO SUSPECT

 

Looks like another watch put together with the fake kit. Auction ends today and is currently at €1000. Has anyone informed the 'experts' at Catawiki?

 

That wont help. They do nothing after reporting it. I did it once (also with a fake 120). They did nothing.

 

more someone didn’t have their coffee and went on a 5 post rant on the person that pointed out there are a lot of fake watches out there and perhaps you should point out what’s wrong with it to teach. Claiming everyone at OF is spreading the news far and wide that this is a fake is a little over reacting don’t you think? I mean there are a lot of fake watches on auction right now including a claimed prototype at a major auction house.

I didn’t read it as ridicule just that you where over exaggerating.
FYI post was pulled as that group deletes any mention to OF.

 

ahhh PPL

 

Are you using google translate? I've no idea what you're trying to say?

 

Now thats FUNNY !!!

 

..

 

I did report it to Catawiki, as I was checking out this watch, but they answered after the lot ended and they are asking for more evidence... I already pointed out the suspicious details you all provided in here (grey text, dial in almost too mint condition, back engraving too deep, etc) so what more can I do (?)
And the email says if you/I do not send more evidence they will fall back and rely on their “expert’s” previous opinion.

 

Thanks for this overview Gemini4,

I am looking at a Seamaster 200 with a red second hand. Do you know about the history or legitimacy of this?

Any tips or leads appreciated.

 

The seconds hand should be white so the original has probably been painted or replaced.

That dial doesn't look great and is quite possibly water damaged.

 

What a nice thread! Unfortunately I noticed it after buying a 166.027 (without a bezel ).

So finding an original bezel is going to a be a challenge?

...

 

That would be yes.

 

I've only seen one genuine one for sale in the last 18-24 months unfortunately.

 

I like quests, thus so as soon as my new Time Piece arrives I'll visit some places in the Netherlands and Germany.

Hopefully one of them will open a 'forgotten' drawer...

 

Batman lugs as described in another thread?

Reported and now removed, even though it was sold by the time I reported it. A second one they had has been removed as well.

Please keep posting this stuff here, even if it's one at a time, every one we can keep from becoming a complete watch and sold on as genuine is a service to the Omega community.

 

Hello everybody,

I want to buy my first Omega 120.

I found one but I read this forum and now I’m very anxious... :/

Can you help me please ?

I’m not sure about the back of the watch...

thanks for everything !
