    Hi there,
    Im new to this forum, good to see it looks busy and has lots of good info on.

    My names Andy, I buy and sell antiques and vintage items and recently aquired this watch, I know very little about Omegas other than knowing they are a quality brand.

    The watch I have is supposidly 18k but im not so sure as there is a little wear and tear and what looks like base metal, so maybe 18k plated, and also its on an cheap aftermarket strap which you would think would not happen with a quality watch.

    I have attached some pictures, if anyone could give me an ID of this watch that would be fantastic, and any hint at its authenticity or not would be great.
    Im a bit reluctant to sell it on again until I know if its genuine or not.

    Kind Regards and Thanks in advance.

    Andrew

    Agree.

    Andrew, just imagine how much satisfaction you'll get if you destroy it in a novel way (use your imagination).

    If you can't think of one, let us know, we can think of dozens of ways to end this junker. :D

    If you bought a dog, was told it was purebred, but later found out its breeding papers were forged, would you kill it?

    I can think of no good reason for destroying this watch. It's certainly fake, but as they say in Spanish, "S-O-C-K-S"...eso si que es.(It is what it is.)

    Just so long as the OP knows it and doesn't sell it along, I'm good with it.
