The devil is in the detail. While there are a number of pointers that the experienced MIL watch collector will spot, there is one glaring alarm bell.


For members interested in WWWs with less than 200 posts ONLY!

Please PM me with your "discovery".

(Experts can PM me if they wish).

 

Well we have one member who won't get caught out. One merit point to Max.

 

And @mr_smith pointed out another little gem, but not the elephant.

 

I wanna play

 

I never was very good with numbers. How much is 200 posts? A lot, a dozen of dozens?

 

The case seems not to be made of stainless steel.

 

I'd say the case has been glass blasted to give that matte finish. I think the case may be original.



Anyway, just to round this off, why would a WWW Omega have a USA import stamp (OXG) on the movement?


I'm not familiar with these but some of the experts here will be able to shed more light on this particular example.

So it's now open to anybody who wishes to comment!

 

The case is destroyed and of no interest for a collector or a person who want's a genuine one. The "OXG" or not it doesn't matter in his case.

 

Aha, ok, that's what it was. Learned of something to look for!

 

I am afraid that this watch is a recent build up.
On the dial the A from omegA is pointed and should be flat on top
I also gess that the 7 should not be correct
The sub second should be stepped ( difficult to see on the photo )
The difference between the 2 numbers on the case back is not correct.
The serial number is a bit early
And the case is blasted but does not look so incorrect.
