A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.
: I'm interested in buying this watch, but not
: quite sure exactly what it is. It has the
: omega symbol at the top with Omega and
: Automatic lettering beneath that. The crown
: is Omega symbol, and the case back is the
: seamonster and it says seamaster and has the
: Omega symbol on it. The inside of the case
: back is the reference # 166.0215 and the
: movement is a cal. 1021. The crystal also
: has a very small engraving of the Omega
: symbol in it's center. The band is an Omega
: 1287/250 s/s bracelet . My dilema is the
: dial, it does not say Seamaster anywhere.
: I'm wondering if this is a frankenwatch, or
: if the dial was just refinished. Any help
: would be greatly appreciated.
: Thank you,
: Ted
Nothing wrong with it as far as I can see, made ometime after 1973 and looks to be in OK condition.
