Hi All,
I've had this watch of my uncles for quite some time. It doesn't look like he wore it much at all, and it's been sitting in my drawer keeping my socks company.
I took it to an appraiser, however they didn't note any info on the model name or number.
I've scoured the internet for any info, but alas have no idea the model name, if it is common, desirable, or worth more than the $12k it was appraised for.
If anyone could shed some opinion on the model, rarity, or other info, it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!!

Sorry to say it's a fake, or more correctly, a counterfeit, worth nothing.

It’s worth a 3 dollar bill.

although first time I’ve seen a ladies cocktail seamaster.

Really? Amazing! Well, I guess I don't have to be so precious about it then.
Did Omega ever make these watches, and this is a fake? Or, they never made such watches?

Thanks!

Geeze...I even took it to the most reputable watch appraiser in town. They charged me 43 bucks for the appraisal!
Maybe I can recoup the 3 bucks though.

no… afaik there was never a ladies cocktail seamaster.

The biggest tell is the caseback. Omega never put that marking on the outside of the caseback.

we also know because some of us have liked at thousands and thousands of Omegas. There are some other tells on it but I think you get the idea.

if you open it I can assure you will not have an omega branded movement.

I think I'll be letting the appraiser know they should stick to Rolex's.

Have appraiser pop the back off of the watch. I promise you there is not an omega movement inside. Then get your money back.

just out of curiosity what did they appraise it at?

......... worth more than the $12k it was appraised for......

I'd be going back to the appraiser too, and asking if they want it for 12K, or what's their best offer.

It says they tested the metal, and it's legit gold. The gold is worth $2,477 CAD.
The "estimated retail replacement value" is $12,400 CAD.
There is no indication they removed the case to inspect the movement. Probably because it still keeps time.

Agreed! I will definitely ask them for an offer!

I’d love to know what they offer. I’m certain they’ll have a reason why they can’t make an offer right now, but if they make an offer for half of the scrap value, bite their hand off.
