路Hello all!
I am new here and would like to ask for assistance, please?
Could someone help me identify a vintage manual wind watch?
A little background on the watch:
I've searched online and taken this watch to several ADs over the years to try to have it identified, but without success. Even Omega's vintage section of their website was no help.
It is a manual wind 14k Omega dress watch with rhodium plating. Originally, it came on a black lizard skin strap. The diamonds on the dial are real and I have no reason to belive that they are not original from Omega. They may have been added after purchase, but I don't think so.
15 years ago I had a watch maker refinish the dial, before I really got into watches and understood the implications of the refinish on the watch's value. The dial is close in color to original, but the "Swiss Made" marking below 6 is incorrect, as it has the T for tritium on both ends of the Swiss Made marking. The Omega symbol and name appear as they did before the refinish. I share this because at first glance the watch may not look authentic, but I can confirm that it is authentic.
Any assistance with determining the approximate age of this piece and it's model is greatly appreciated.
Omega customer service directed me to the vintage section of the website, but I couldn't find it there.
Also, I have an Omega stopwatch. Not sure if it is real or fake. Had it since the early 1980s. It looked vintage in the 80s, and has been stored since. I've searched online, but cannot find any pictures that look exactly like it does. It is in running condition and accurate.
Photos of both are attached.
Thanks,
T7
