Hi Everyone, thanks for the great info I’ve read on this forum. I’m a new member and new to Omega I’m looking at buying old Omegas and possibly servicing myself. Can I ask for some info on a watch I’m thinking is a fake. The case back has Omega De Ville 1168233 A8 printed on the back. Now reading previous posts, it’s unusual for De Villes to have the serial number on the outside of the case.
Well done for asking and being suspicious. It's also unusual for Omega watches to house $5.00 Miyota movements.
