What are these worth? I found these at a local estate sale. Not sure? I'm pretty interested naturally.
Hands too short, no hallmarks (Day date are only in precious metals), tritium dots on a diamond dial. All red flags
Don't take my word for it, but it looks real to me! Better have it checked out. These were made in (IIRC) both18-karat white gold, and platinum. It would be worth finding out. Model number and S# on these are found between the lugs. Value? Find out whether it is 18-karat white gold or platinum, and nose around on the 'net, and you should get an idea.
What difference does any of this make? This is the vintage Omega Forum. I'm not the most knowledgeable member but I do know that Omega isn't spelled R-O-L-E-X.
Ok, so he posted it on the wrong SUB- forum but there is plenty of R-O-L-E-X on this forum. One of the few forums where we don't normally hate the other brands.
Hating fakes is definitely allowed in all subfora Sorry, this one looks wrong in all regards - don't even think of buying it, but make the seller aware of what he's doing. He probably already knows.
Notice the line under the coronet on the crown? That indicates that it is either a stainless steel watch or made out of yellow gold... AFAIK, DD's were never made in stainless. ...Or you could be pulling the OPs leg
I couldn't tell you why it's wrong, but when you've been around watches long enough, you get a sense for things that just don't look right... and this thing looks like a bag of spanners.
Six Day-Dates were made in stainless steel. This is probably not one of them, but I wouldn't take it to Goodwill just yet.
It is interesting that the longer one spends at this, the quicker the eye can spot fakes without research regardless of brand.
Oh and this watch is not even a good fake. Best advice is from Rick Harris of Pawn Stars fame. "You look at a Rolex and everything is just perfect because they are so well made." The cyclops is a dead give away but the rest of this s..t pile is awful as well.
