Dear all, Currently in India, I plan to purchase an Omega in a bazaar but i want to ensure before it is a real one. Could you kindly look at the pictures attached with the website below and tell me what you think? I would be extremely grateful if you could help me not to do a mistake if it is a fake one. Thanks a lot, in advance. Pierre www.apiacereshop.com
The movement is correct for this case reference. Note that the case appears to be heavily over polished and the dial was refinished.
Thanks a ton to both of you for your answers. I understand your point ulackfocus but they could have real ones as well no? Since the price is quite low and it I seems to be an original one, would you still recommend not buy?
It's not original most likely - the dial has been repainted. These sell for such a low price because redials, frankens, and all sorts of shenanigans go on in that neck of the woods.
Its a redial and who knows what else will be found when looked at by reputable watch person! Probability is against you in this situation...you can do better elsewhere!
I think there is a decent chance that this is an original dial. I can't tell for sure with those out-of-focus and blurry photos. "Swiss Made" is in the correct place on the dial and it seems to be aged appropriately. However, there is a far better chance that it is a "Mumbai Special", as Ulackfocus said. gatorcpa
