Hi there!

I bought this watch from a car boot sale local to me in Leeds, UK.

I am struggling to identify exactly what model it is? I am thinking it's maybe a pilots CK700AD?

The only things that are steering me away from this are the following:

  • the hands don't look original
  • the sub-dial looks different to others I have seen
  • if you look the caseback is smooth around the edges of mine, whereas CK700s have serrated casebacks for a case opening to be used.

Could people tell me what they think, and what it could be worth? I'm not looking to sell this piece by the way.

Thanks,
Henry

Hi,

IMO the dial is reprinted and not original.
My movement looks different but your´s could be a differently finished example - would need the precise diameter of the movement.
Here for comparison:

You can see that the case construction also differs.

And the nickel chrome inscription and the far later Omega logo make me worry about the authenticity of the case.
Case should be stainless steel as the refence "CK" indicates.

You mention the missing of the outside knurling of the case back - another indication of a wrong case?
Is there any hint/thread on the back of the case? Maybe the outer threaded case back is just missing.

What is the diameter of the case without crown?

The only thing Omega would be the ( not correct for that type of watch ) Mvmt. Everything else might be a no name case with applied ( wrong as well for that period) engravings. Dial and hands are typical for the former eastern block fakes.

Often such “seemingly correct” wristwatches are offered by Ukrainian, Moldovan, Bulgarian sellers - need to be careful with such deals.
