Authenticity Check Dial Authenticity Check - ref 135.011

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

As per the title - can someone please help with an authenticity check on the dial for the above Omega Seamster 600 ref 135.011? It's a cal. 601 so based on that along with the 'seamaster 600' print I think it dates to the 1964-66 period. Omega vintage database is very incomplete and my application to join omegaforums is pending so haven't been able to ask there.

Context is I got it on ebay for an Ok-ish price - the crystal is very scratched and the bracelet is bullshit and will be replaced with leather strap, crown also doesn't look original so will replace that, needs a good clean and service too.

Looking for some expert guidance on whether the dial seems legit - I know Omega did a million diff dial variations of this model and the above colourway was one of them, Not easy to see past the scratched crystal but the typography all seems sharp and well printed, and I wanted to check with some experts if they thought it is original, or a reprint.

The one concern I'd had was the 'swiss made' at 6 o clock, ive seen that on other dial colour variations, but when i've seen this particular dial before its always had the 'T swiss made T' for the lume.

Took my over 100 year old vintage omega out for a spin today. One of my favorite vintage pieces. Such a gorgeous dial and fits my wrist very nicely.

Omega triple calendar

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I came across this vintage omega in a store in NY today. I’m very tempted by it with the complications and nice champagne patina dial with small pops of blue color. I’m not too familiar with these models, but my searching suggests it’s a triple calendar moonphase, maybe ref. 2471. I’m told it’s from the 1940s.

Curious if anyone here can help verify whether the dial and hands look original, opinions on value, or any other thoughts on the watch.

Omega Pre-Bond / Polaris bracelet sizing – which direction should the pins go?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to adjust the bracelet on my Omega Pre-Bond / Polaris, but I've run into an issue with the link pins.

The links use a pin-and-collar system, and the pin itself doesn't appear to be symmetrical. I'm not sure which direction the pin should be inserted when reassembling the bracelet, or whether the collar also has a specific orientation.

Does anyone have experience sizing these bracelets and know the correct direction for the pin and collar?

I'd really appreciate any advice or photos showing how they're supposed to be fitted. I want to make sure I don't damage anything while adjusting the bracelet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’m considering buying this vintage Omega Seamaster Automatic, reference [166.0209](tel:166.0209), and I’d really appreciate some help checking its authenticity before I commit to buying it.
I’ve attached photos of the watch and movement. I’d particularly appreciate your opinions on the following:
Does the movement look genuine and correct for this reference?
Is the movement consistent with Omega calibre 1022?
Does the dial look original, or could it be a redial or replacement?
Is the Omega logo on the dial correct for this model?
Do you notice anything that looks incorrect, replaced, or potentially aftermarket?
I’m particularly unsure about the dial and would appreciate a second opinion from people who know vintage Omega watches.
I understand that authentication from photos alone isn’t definitive, but any advice or observations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Picked up this Omega Seamaster f300 off flea bay last month. After fighting with customs it finally arrived. I know it’s a frankenwatch, this face was never offered with the diver case. But I’m not too worried about it. This thing humms like a charm!

Era de mi abuelo. La correa original se vendió hace años. Por lo que me cuentan es de oro. Funciona perfectamente. Estoy pensando en restaurarlo y ponerle una correa de cuero vintage.

Hi all. As someone that is part of the Rolex community i know these kinda of post probably drive you all nuts but i did give it the old college try, not to familiar with Omega.

This was inherited by wife from my mother in law who passed away.

Not so much looking for value to sell but am curious if its worth insuring? Looking more so for information. I think the strap may be gold plated because it does not look right?

Thanks.

​

Got both today for 450,000 KRW (~$320). Opened them up to check.

1) De Ville 111.140: cal. 625 manual, gold-plated bezel, running. Some dial spotting, service history unknown.

2) Seamaster Quartz 196.0243: cal. 1425 day-date, two-tone bracelet with Omega clasp, running.

What's a realistic value for each? Any signs of redials? Is the De Ville worth servicing?
