: I was given the omega in the picture here as a present recently.
: It's beautiful but it has a totally plain back -not even
: "omega" engraved on it- and no sign of a serial number
: anywhere on the outside. Does anybody know anything about it?
: I'm hoping it's a real one as I'd be very disappointed to learn
: otherwise.
: I have three '90's quartz Omega's (Seamaster, DeVille and
: Constellation) and the front of this one screams
: "genuine". The movement is precise, the finish looks
: superb. It's just the plain back that I'm curious about and,
: also, that it looks like a press in back where I would really
: expect a Seamaster to be screw in.
: I don't have the tools or nerve to try to take off the back but, if
: nobody can help me, then that's the next step. I'd just rather
: not risk opening it and possibly scratching the back
: unnecessarily or damaging anything.
The watch looks genuine. Omega, except for a brief period in the 1980s, never had serial numbers on the outside of the watch.
Serial numbers are on the movement and are 8 digits.
Calibre numbers are on the movement and are 3 or 4 digits and near the Greek letter Omega.
Case numbers are on the inside of the caseback.
A combination of these is necessary to positively identify the watch.
