Omega Seamaster Deville Or Constellation?

[bobm12]

I recently came across this watch from a friend who got it from a pawn shop very cheap. He believes that the face is wrong. We discused the possibility of a broken crystal (the one on the watch is plastic) and a damaged face. There was the acutal face available so it was used to fix and eventually sell the watch.

 

Any input, information or thoughts about this watch is appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Looking at the back and micro-adjuster on the regulator I think it was probably a Constellation. Check the movement serial number with Omega records and you should find out what it is...........or was.

Thank you Geo, that's what I thought. The case and back all speak of Constellation to me. I'll check the records!

Regretfully, Omega charges money for the records and the watch is not mine so I'll have to talk to the owner....

As i can see the case was for omega constelation series.

It should have a 1012 movement inside the case. should be 24k goldplated case.

I agree there are too many should be's with this watch

Hello,

 

Too late, i know!

The case is a Constellation C Shape, without doubts, but not the movement, all the Connies are adjusted to 5 positions chrono grade movements and this one is a base unadjusted 17 jewells, most probably from a Seamaster.

 

Best regards.

Think the watch is a fake . have never seen a caseback from Omega with printing like that . Also found this when i searched a little

Me too.

 

By the way, it is great to know...I believed originally, considering the owner said he had purchased the watch from a jewelry/pawn place that they had sold the case (probably gold from another omega) and used the movement in the constellation case. Now I have my doubts. I don't know if to pass the new information to the owner...he thinks he has the real thing!  :)

 

Cheers,

Could very well be some kind of franken . The movement and dial could come from a Seamaster de ville . But the case sure is a fake .
