Hi all this is my first post so please be gentle)))I have always liked Omega watches since my dad got one for his retirement gift 40 years ago(not this one).
Just wondered what model this is and an approximate year.I know there is no omega logo on the adjuster but assume that this is just age related.Look forward to any info.If anyone needs advise on Gas related questions please ask))))))

It's a fake, sorry to say. Peruse this link and I'm sure you'll see a lot like it. https://omegaforums.net/threads/don...omegas-post-them-here-not-for-questions.6235/

This dial, in fact the whole watch does not look like an Omega to me, can you provide pics of the movement?

kind regards M

I am sorry but yes, everything indicates that it is fake ...
Even so it would be good to see some photos of the movement to highlight what you should look for in your next purchase.
By now there is the fact that Omega does not engrave logos on the outside of the back. The crown is generic. The Omega logo on dial is clearly different and the word Seamaster is grotesquely written.
Omega always care the quality of its products and therefore you will never find this kind of logos or prints on any original Omega watch or any other recognized brand (Tissot, Rolex, etc).
But please do not be discouraged, there are many original vintage watches on the market and find a piece that you really like, repair or service it, investigate all you can about and understand that we can have a watch that can be even older than ourselves and works extraordinarily well, it is a great experience.

It would be great if OF started a YouTube channel where fake watches are taken out of the gene pool through various forms of gleeful destruction.

As mentioned above, there is nothing Omega about the watch. The movement appears to be an unprotected A Schild movement of some type, perhaps an AS1130 or variant, but I can't read the caliber number.

I’m sorry man- we all get bitten in the beginning-but then we learn from the mistakes. Fakes were common back in the day- a Canal street purchase back in the day from a guy that looked like this

A number of years ago, I saw a photo of thousands a fake Rolex watch arrayed on a stretch of paved road, then run over by a steam roller. Unable to find that picture. The caption to this picture sates, “an unusual event occurred recently at a recycling plant”, (in Switzerland, possibly?)

Found that picture. I get goosebumps when I see images like this! 7,000 watches crushed in Philadelphia.

I wonder who verified each one. With 7k, a few real ones may have slipped through.
