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.
My grandfather lived in Europe and USA for most of the 70's and he purchased these two watches back then.
They are not working right now, but I think it's only a case of battery change.
Anyway, I would like someone with knowledge on this subject to shed a light on what year and what model are these two watches.
I am sorry I can't take better quality pictures (I used my cell phone camera).
The first golden watch has the following saying in its display:
OMEGA Automatic
Unbreakable mainsprong
Antimagnetic
Swiss Made
On the backside it says the usual:
Unbreakable mainsprong
Stainless Steel Back
Base Metal Bezel
The elastic golden wristband has Speidel U.S.A. written in every section.
The second silver watch with deep blue display says:
OMEGA Megaquartz 32 KHz
Genéve
Swiss Made
The backside of the watch has a big Omega logo carved on the metal.
The wristband says (32) Stainless Steel 1236/218 and has a small Omega logo on it.
Any help will be appreciated. I am intending to sell these as long as they are worth selling. That's why I want to identify them.
Thanks a lot in advance.
