    Yesterday we had a fun thread with this watch (dial misprint VII instead of VIII)

    [​IMG]




    today I got offered the following watch (supposedly the original for this re-hash)

    since the 1940ies are not my forte, could somebody more competent pipe in?

    it looks good ... too good (?)

    I understand the omegas have no gold hallmarks on the outside, but very old ones did (up until when?)

    what are your thoughts?... I dont have any movement pics .... but I'd be interested in first "stabs" at this ...

    Is it legit or am I completely off base here (Omega logo looks too contemporary???) ?... I mean that is not exactly a kind of watch that you'd forget once you saw it ... that dial, those fancy lugs ...

    thx for sharing your thoughts, any model number?

    best, Al

    Could be a custom case and missing the hallmarks. Also, the dial is refinished.

    I agree with Joe - also not the right hands - too short

    To OP; you're way off base. Try to take a new position. Better luck next time!
