    Dear Sir / Madam, I have come across two (in my opinion) beautiful "Omega" watches. Unfortunately I have too little knowledge to index the authenticity or market value.

    The watches also have no official papers.
    Can u help me index the authenticity and markt value?

    Thanks in advance!

    Based on the quality of your photos, one is a fake and the other is not.

    Second one is prob 166.010 with original bor. Market value between $ 500 and 850 depending on condition. With bor it could be even a bit more...

    thanks for your responses. I will try to get photos from the side and back. perhaps it will then help to index the market value and authenticity.

    And pictures in daylight of the dial. Close up of the plexi centre also to determine if it's a omega plexi.

    First is fake as far as I can see. Second one looks interesting to me but more and better photos needed.

    Indirect natural light works better, no flash or direct sunlight.

    My opinion is that these are the worst pictures ever made of a watch by human kind...:D

    Do you have a smart phone with a normal camera? Go outside and make a picture of the dial.

    But I'm 99% sure it's a 166010

    Ok. Ask if the seller had some connection with japan or asia in the past regarding the seamaster. Do you have the skills/tools to open the watch?

    Seamaster is missing it's bezel which has a very significant impact on value.

    Constellation looks like a genuine reference 1552.30.00.

    What would a bezel cost? I know somebody replaced a bezel once of a connie for less then EUR 50. But not sure how it looked after. @Archer maybe knows?
