Hi Folks, recently came across this Omega Seamaster 30 Sub Seconds, which runs on caliber 268. Does the watch looks genuine? Are the inscriptions in the back related to a military unit (have seen similar on the Railmaster models, but not on the 30 series)

Thanks

Hi, it is not a genuine military watch. Case inscription is done most likely during the re-dial period. Movement and case is omega.
Hope it helps.

Fantasy refinished dial and fake military markings, why would you even want it?

I like the look of that model as it somewhat resembles the railmaster look; still undecided on what to purchase

Only you can decide if you like it enough to buy it. It has pretty much zero collector value or kudos though. Only really worth the value of the average case and movement, but I'm sure the price is much higher.

Asking price on it is $1200

You could buy a really nice Omega for that kind of money.

Be patient and wait for a good watch, this one simply isn't

Thanks; as I said just looking at this point as there are many variations on Omega and Zenith vintage jumbo watches, still undecided if going SS, YG, rose gold or red gold

Don't buy that watch. It will take some patience but there are some authentic models out there that look very similar.

Casenacl engraving doesn't seem right. Also the lume is very sloppy. Notice it spilling into the seconds register and over application compared to westmtn's post.

Best of luck in your hunt for the piece of your dreams! The chase is what makes it fun!

The middle one looks like it was done with a spray can and stencil.

Both the above Omegas are redials.

Geezus Khryst, what is it with n00bs and black redials?

NEW LAW AT OMEGA FORUMS: IF IT'S A BLACK DIALED VINTAGE OMEGA, NO MEMBER WITH LESS THAN 1000 POSTS IS ALLOWED TO CONSIDER IT.

Hey Norm, that's a good one: "fantasy redial". I absolutely LOVE that term!
