Re: Speedmaster Serial Numbers
In Response To: Re: Speedmaster Serial Numbers ()

: All OMEGA watches ever made have a serial
: number inside on the movement itself.

Not necessarily. I recently inquired OMEGA about the 3520.5000 and the rep. told me that there is no serial # on the movement at all, only on the lug. I was stunned and asked for a confirmation by sending another email just to make sure I hadn't misunderstood what she was trying to say.

: In addition, all OMEGA watches for the past 15
: years or more also have the number somewher
: eon the outside of the case, usually on one
: of the lugs or on the caseback.

This is an interesting one. Should it be either on the lug or on the caseback or on both? It seems from numerous eBay listing that the Speedmaster Automatic (various versions) have only got a serial number on the case back. Are they supposed to be like this or they have polished out the number from the lug? Is it so easy to do so with a clean shiny finish?
