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.
Thanks for the reply Gary.
: Looks genuine to me; the movement and back
: certainly are and, thus, the case is. I'd
: like a better look at the crown, which will
: have the omega on it if genuine, but this is
: not a big problem as the crowns are still
: available. The visible serial number places
The crown is indeed signed, but it's plating is pretty well gone.
: its manufacture at about late 1966 and
: Seamaster 600 series were produced from 1958
: to 1969, so that's OK.
: The photograph is not quite good enough to see
: if the dial has been refaced - if it has
: been, a good job has been made of it; there
: should be the inscription T Swiss Made T (or
: just T Swiss Made) below the 6 baton on an
: unrefaced dial.
It appears that it is original. There is damage visible in the pic to the 9 o'clock marker.
: I can think of only one reason why a serial
: number has been removed, but after all this
: time, I don't think it's a worry.
I was surprised that there was no oxidation in the scratches. Isn't the movement made of brass?
: No, it's a very good example in otherwise
: excellent condition - personally, I too
: would keep it.
The more I look at it, the more I like it. I already switched the large black leather band for a slightly reddish brown lizard strap. Now my wife says it's to dressy to wear with jeans.
