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 took a quick look. The case reference matches
: with the cal. 354 movement. The case has
: been highly polished and the medallion seems
: worn, but that is common. A serial number in
: the 12-13 million range would be consistent
: with the age of the dial and case (circa
: 1952-4). If all 3 match up, then it's likely
: real.
: I can't tell if the dial originally came in
: those colors, or is oxidized. From the
: outside, it looks in order. The seller has a
: good feedback percentage.
: The price seems a bit high to me, but sometime
: you pay extra because it's want you want.

Thanks for your response. I use the Omega Vintage site extensively. I have no doubt that the watch is real, but what I want to know is whether the dial is the original Omega design or whether it is a flight of fancy of some former owner. Unfortunately, the vintage site doesn't have pictures of the actual watches and I don't see any Connie with a dial like that elsewhere on the Omega site. I guess I wanted to know if anyone else has seen dials like that on Omega watches from that era.
