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.
: Can't comment on the ROLEX but the Omega is
: probably real. That model was pretty rare
: and usually goes for high prices. It is
: definately worth sending to a watchmaker for
: repair. I've only seen 1 or 2 actually
: advertised.
: steverem
I seriously doubt that either of those is fake. The Omega may simply need a new battery. It looks in great shape so I would not take it to any corner watchmaker to change the battery. I would send it to Omega in Switzerland. Repair should be relatively inexpensive. They will let you know via e-mail and will ask you if you want to proceed with the service or not.
Since it's in such good shape, and if you got it working you could try to sell it--it looks to be in great condition. Check out eBay or TimeZone to see what they go for. If you need help on contacting Omega go to www.omega.ch and then customer service... fill out the form and they will contact you.
