Real? Story? Do you guys know anything about this watch? Many thanks in advance.

 

I am still pretty new at this, so don't take my word as final, but I am skeptical of the text. It seems like there is more space between the E and the G in OMEGA than there should be.

 

In before “but it’s not gold....”

 

What do you mean? It is fake you think?

 

Real Omega but doubtful the dial is original. Black dials with bright white printing are always suspect, the addition of the Tiffany markings adds another layer of suspicion.

 

Their is a high tendency for Cartier, Tiffany, and Turler signed watches to be gold. Cartier almost all, Tiffany virtually all, and Turler much less.

some people think it’s a rule for Tiffany watches.. it’s not.

Although, an extract can always sort out who the original sales company is in most cases.

 

Newbie question here: a 3rd parties logo like T&C, turler, will it increase or decrease the value of the watch, compare with its unsign brothers? Thank you

 

Depends... those three normally esp in gold models.

there are a few no one cares about and a few that really spike value. Cuba and SA

 

We did have the .024 SM300 posted last year with a Tiffany dial and sales receipt- so they did have some stainless sport models apparently....but I doubt this was one of them

 

Don't know if it's just me or the way the pictures were taken but the painted second marks all the way around the dial seem inconsistent.

 

Look at the 6 o clock marker and close the second mark is on the right compared to the left

 

Tiffany would scratch mark their own small internal number on items like this, look on the back lugs to see if there is such marking.

 

In the mid 1980s Tiffany's co-signed the dial of the steel Rolex they sold. I saw two examples whose original owner bought new at the time.

 

Will an extract help determine if this went to a Tiffany store first?

 

There is a chance. An extract generally can confirm this but not exclude it.

 

Here’s my similar ‘77 version for comparison of text, markers, etc. My understanding was that if the hands had lume then the markers should also, like the dots at the end below. There is also a difference in the spacing around ‘Swiss made’, but I’m no expert on redials and the like so can’t say for sure.

 

Any chance that first watch is from Korea?
