Omega Pre-Bond with a date magnifier! Wow... Who knew?

Naturally it's for auction from Vietnam. I have been there and they have an astounding number of Frankenwatches.

From what I can see it's the genuine case, dial and bracelet, with the wrong movement and a silly replacement crystal.

More than likely glued on to make it look more like a Sub.

It looks to be a genuine ETA but likely a replacement, yes? This had the 1441 and then the 1438.

The magnifier is pathetic.

The 1441 is a Eta 255.561 movement.http://forums.watchuseek.com/f45/fa...ega-seamaster-200-pre-bond-series-316149.html .This is a good guide .

Yeah that right there is a heck of a writeup.

The seller responded that the crystal was replaced. So at least he is honest about that (when asked).
