Hello valuable OF members
I found on local classifieds 2 Omega which I can not identify. Their design suggests 1970s Omega (minute and hour hands versus imprinted logo on first one) while on the second one hands and even case shape look like watch is dated back to 1960s or (better or worse) 1950.
Could please you help me to ID these watches.
Thank you in advance for your help

Can't, just by looking at them. Not to say it's not possible, but you'd be awfully lucky if someone recognises them.

Ask the seller for the caseback numbers and then there's a possibility of identification.

I'm worried that both may be fake. Do you have any more photos?

Try a reverse image search on Google.
Sorry I dont understand what you meant. Should I try to find similar pictures in Google search?

That is what I suspect. I will try to ask for more photos.

You can search for similar images on Google using the photos that you have. If Google finds a match, that may provide you with a basis for comparison and/or the case reference numbers.

I haven't seen the combination of hands and dials before. Normally they're sword hands on these (2XXX series) 2200, 2400 etc. At least on my experience. The black dial seems a redial to me. The tuxedo dial...maybe but not sure either. the baton hands with lume for sure look new on that one.

Just enter "Vintage Omega small hands" in google and you will have enough images to keep you busy for a while. And some better examples to buy.

First seems to be a redial and the second a converted pocket watch (if Omega at all)

I'm also thinking the same... Additional pictures would help.

Hi.

Reverse image lookup.....
on android phone
Open Google app and click on 'discover' at bottom left.
select lens (camera icon) on search bar and select your image from gallery or photos.
Google should then display close matches.

Hope this helps. It's not brilliant in my experience, but have only used it occasionally.

Tks for yout tips on image lookup. I did search in that manner.
So far I did not get similar watches. Am inclined to think they are both fake/repaint.
