    Hello i was wondering if any one maybe could tell me if this watch is authentic or fake/homebuild ? I was planning to maybe by it. But i dont find any identic watch or get any good hits when you google the numbers on the watch on internet. And that feels kind of strange :)

    Just checked in AJTT.

    It's a 10 L15p movement, the second movement produced by Omega and it does not display a serial no. The description is that it is a "ladies calibre" first produced in 1897. As far as I can make out, it was used in ladies pocket watches.

    Wristwatches were produced shortly after 1897, but they didn't use the modern lugs seen on this case. So, I deduce that it is a legit and possibly rare movement housed in a later case.

    That's exactly what it looks like - a ladies movement in an oversize case. But the case itself must be much later than 1897.

    Ok nice, tnx for the help !
    Ladies calibre thats a little gay anyway ;)
    But the watch is ok size, 35,5 mm exclude the crown. But the crown don't look much authentic

    Is that a French hall mark on the inside of the case back?

    Why would you have a hallmark on a stainless steel back?

    One simple question: does the seller of this watch reside in the Ukraine?
