Hi, this is my first post in this forum, Im glad to find one specialized forum!
Im a watchmaker from Spain, I make restorations of old watches, buy and sell NOS watches too, and my English is very bad...
Will start like many others, with a question.
I bought this NOS watch, part of a lot, and reading his hang tag I see that the model nº is 161.009 but on the caseback says 162.009.
Looking in the Omega museum, I can see that the movement for the reference 162.009 is the 562/5 movement, and the dial is diferent too.
But looking for the reference 161.009 from the hang tag, I can see that the movement is like mine, the 552 and the dial is the same.
Is this a frankenwatch? or is just that this is not in the Omega museum?, I see some more like mine in the internet, but maybe all frankenwatches...
I dont want to sell it if it's not original, will keep for myself...
I appreciate any help.
Thank you all and congrats for this forum.

Hola Marcelo!
Is nice to see someone here from Spain.
Though I was the only one.
I can't help you with this, but just wanted to say hello and welcome
Where are you located?

 

Welcome Marcelo,
Your watch movement condition is amazing

 

Yes, I think so...thank you very much for your complete answer
Another watch for my collection then

 

Muy buenas!!
Thank you for your welcome, Im from Vigo, Pontevedra.

 

Thank you!! and yes the movement is intact, a beautyfull one, If was original maybe could sell it, but I have no chance, have to keep it for myself
It's my job and I have to sell watches, but I really like when I have no choice

 

It's a hard life
