Please show the inner side of the caseback and the movement in high resolution photos - then we will be able to assess your watch.

I am afraid that the case is not original Omega - looks rather like a locally produced contract case (maybe South America?)

Thanks, I am pretty sure the case is not Omega but it’s seem very strange to change the original for a solid gold 18k

The dial looks poorly refinished to me. Because of this and the fact that this seems to be a replacement case, it is impossible to know if the dial originally came from one of the Brazilian Teddington case references.



Hope this helps,

As we expected: no markings inside the caseback, so its not an Omega case but a case from an unknown contractor.
You should have it acid tested if it is really gold or not...

Movement is a 30 T2 PC and is original Omega

In some markets, and certainly in Italy, this was quite common in the 50 ‘s and 60’s. Several goldsmiths were specialised in providing gold cases to steel watches.

Often somebody would buy a steel watch, and when years later they could afford, they would have it cased with a gold case. This was usually 18k in Italy, but a reputable goldsmith would also have it hallmarked for gold title.
