    Hi, is this an authentic or fake Omega? I have no clue about this type of watch or any other to be honest. This was passed down to me with another watch. I know the bracelet is from a different brand of watch. If it is authentic,is there anything you could tell me about it? Year it was made etc Thanks in advance :)

    Movement is genuine and the case appears to be genuine as well. The dial is refinished poorly. I can't see the serial numbers on the movement, but if I had to guess it is not original to the case making this a Franken watch.

    Serial number looks like it begins 104, which would date it to ca 1944/45 and would be correct for this style case.

    Dial is as noted refinished.

    Thankyou, Is it possible to get the dial back to the way it was or is that a daft question? Where do I find the serial number on the movement? Sorry - completely ignorant regarding watches. I know no valuations can be requested or given, but would you sell this as it is or for the genuine parts?

    Serial number is here:

    -1 2.27.51 PM.jpg

    A much better job could be done on the dial however its not likely to add much value to the watch, which as it sits would probably bring $250-350 in a no reserve eBay auction with decent photos. Value is somewhat dependent on the diameter of the watch.
