Hi everyone,

I found this watch that i would like to buy, but as a total beginner, i would like to hear your thoughts as to whether it's real or not, and how much you think it is worth. Thank you in advance!

Movement certainly looks like a 620. These tend to appear in watches under 30mm dial made in the 1960s and early 70s.

What are your initial impressions and thoughts on originality?

Hi, thank you for your input! I'm not sure, honestly. I Googled how to tell a real one, and i read multiple places that there should be a number containing between 7-8. On this, i only see 2 numbers on the inside of the backside, and both contain only 6, so this makes me a bit unsure

So Omega in this era used a kind of code on its case references for the first three digits. See this link: http://www.scotchwatch.com/Omegacasecodes.html

The digits after the period are just sequential for models that they released, iirc. The fact that there are 2 on the case back indicates that that back was used for multiple models.

The photos are quite small, but I'm not seeing any obvious concerns at first glance. The 8-digit serial number is on the movement, not the caseback, but it's impossible to read in the photo.

Small ladies watches like these don't have very high collectible value these days, so you should be able to get it for a fairly low price. Hopefully, some of the women collectors will have a sense of the value, I would just be guessing.

These aren't faked and usually can be had for around $100

Watch looks good from the photos, but a close up dial photo is needed to vet it, but as it is, the non-printed Omega logo is a huge plus

If you haven't seen one up close, it's super tiny, the lug width on the watch you shared is 1cm - so the diameter is around 2cm's

The 620 movement has an enormous amount of spares, spare movements, so if something goes wrong, you can just buy another watch for cheap and replace whatever needs replacing

For some reason I used to buy rare ladies watches too back in the day, I only have one left, a black dial with only Omega logo on it, if you're shopping around I can send photos
