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.
here are your pics
OK, they are a bit blurred & this is really NOT an area that I specialise in, but I have some older catalogues & had a quick flick through them....
this is what I found.
That looks like a pretty good match to me. Yours has the date at 06:00 like the larger of the 2 watches above, but a two-tone band like the smaller of the two.
here's a close up of the dial
I can't see much detail from your pics, but you can compare my scans with your watch.
What I can tell you is that these scans came from a 1989 Catalogue, the price of the larger watch was 1350 Deutsche Marks, the smaller ( with more gold) cost 2200 Deutsche Marks.
So that's about 600 or 900 USD ( very rough approximations & there's no allowance for inflation in those USD prices ! ). It was NOT a cheap watch.
I'm afraid I can't tell you 100% whether yours is a genuine Omega or a good fake. But it does look to me like the genuine thing.
I hope this helps.
