Re: Help identifying a watch *PIC*
In Response To: Re: Help identifying a watch ()

: So to your original question... somewhat hard
: to tell as that is a very basic style watch.
: Many watches were sold as just 'Omega'
: without being part of a specific series.

: It is a nice watch in beautiful condition!

: But without any designations on the dial, no
: features distictive to a specific model, no
: idea what movement calibre is in it... there
: really is nothing for us to go on to give
: you more detail.

: Does the back indicate whether it is 14K or 18K
: gold or gold-filled?

Thanks for the quick reply. The watch is a Solid 18K. Here are a few more pics. Hope they help shed a little more light...

Thats all the details i have. The thing that makes identifying hard is that the back has been replaced at some point and whoever did it failed to engrave the serial number. The 'new' back is stamped 18K.

If i get the movement cal. will that help identify the model? Maybe that should be my next line of attack.

Does having a non-original back significantly de-value the watch. Apart from that, the watch appears to be in exceptional condition.

Cheers,

Giskard
