Omega real or fake


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Recently purchased an Omega, mainly because I loved the look of the watch, however, having looked up the serial number on the inside of the case it describes it as a sea master 1976.

Omegas website shows a slightly different dial than my watch. I am nowhere near knowledgeable enough to determine if my watch is correct or not, can anyone advise.

I have enclosed photographs and a link to the Omega site.

Probably you have looked the reference from the casebacknot the serial which may be stamped on the mov.t.
Anyway it is indeed a authentic Seamaster De Ville.

Looks genuine to me.

 Caliber 1010 is inscribed on your watch, Gg to Dr ranfft database to see picture of the movement and some additional info.

Google,    Omega 1010 ranfft

Thanks Nucejoe 

Much appreciated, now I just have to service it which I’m looking forward to with slight trepidation as I know I can’t afford to damage anything with rarity of parts.

That’s good to know, I was a little unsure after I bought it as the info I found said screw back and printing in disk was different.

Thanks again

Looks real and the crystal is original. See the little Omega symbol stamped on the underside?

Thanks noirrac1j,

Much appreciate the info, got out my loupe and found the Omega logo on the crystal, I would never have found that if you hadn’t pointed it out.

Much happier now as I really like this style of watch and have wanted an Omega for years.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
    • Hold the crown when in winding position, move the click away from the crown wheel, and then while holding the crown let it slowly unwind. I recollect that you must remove the automatic device bridge first, but maybe I'm wrong. You can first try without removing the automatic device bridge.
