Kundo spherical watch - how to open?

[Kettlenhhob]

Was recently given this unusual spherical pocket watch to work on made by Kundo

apart from the obvious problems (dial and hands are loose of the movement, missing bow) I cant work out for the life of me how to get into the case

No knife notch, no hinge and have tried unscrewing the pendant tube and the two sides of the case itself...

Can anyone shed any light?

TIA

This is cheap Chinese Tongji movement in ball case. Nothing to do with Kundo, they didn't do such watches. This is actually a clock, the rear half must have flat part to put it on flat surface. How to disassemble - the bezels are pressed in the middle part and sharp knife is needed and some force. But, only disappointment will be found inside...

Yes, @nevenbekriev is correct. I worked on a couple of them that said "Omega", "Made in Swit zerland".

The movement is really low quality. But there are supposed to be real Omega ball clocks in existence. I've only seen one on eBay. But I'm not going to risk good money when there are probably a few million fakes to a handful of genuine Omega ball clocks.

Nice paperweights though.

I just checked eBay for "glass ball clock" and found this and several more costing hundreds of dollars. Honestly, I can't tell if any of them are genuine. Some have nicer looking movements, making it even harder to tell if they are fakes. Maybe @oldhippy could take a look and spot which are genuine.

Great thanks for that. 

Got it open and the "dial" is actually just a print out of a dial on some photo paper lol
