Dear fellows,
I once more found one "maybe" Omega on the bay.
Asking whether it is a genuine one the seller can not proof it.
So I was hoping some more experienced OMEGA-Man/Woman here can maybe help (though pics are on bad quality).
I know it's hard, but any hint is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Hrachia

Looks like a genuine Seamaster reference 14389, probably from around 1960-61. Manual wind caliber 268, more than likely. The alpha hands are a recognized variant for this reference. Very poor photos and no movement photo, so I really can't comment on condition except to say that based upon what I can see, it appears to be in pretty rough condition.

+1 .. Based on what is visible in the picture the watch is authentic.

Here's a photo of a reference 14389 that i used to own. This is what a good example should look like.

Thank you people. It was quite cheap and as I wanted to get it the auction was cancelled…
Either the vendor was fake or something went wrong. I’d have loved to remake that watch. well maybe next time.
thx
