Omega Cal 265 Case Help,lack of reference #
Hi folks, I just purchased this Omega with Cal 265 and a large 37.5 mm case, I know the dial is repainted but the case is what I question. It doesn't have a reference number and the Omega logo stamp looks a little crude, I compared it to a few other logo's and the depth of the imprint isn't as deep and the Omega symbol isn't as sharp or defined. The serial number is 12757397 which places it around 1951 and I would assume that Omega was very disciplined in how their cases were identified and markd by then. I took the chance on this one because of the case size and price which both appealed to me but I need help to confirm that this is indeed a genuine Omega Case, I will have to return it before the weekend is over. Thanks for any help you can offer, Jim

Hi Jim, the total absence of any number in the case back is uncommon indeed... There should be either a reference number (usually 4 or 5 digits on early Omegas) or (more often) a case serial number. I am a bit concerned too. But what I do not understand:...

But don't count the case, buy the movement only. I bought one like that and I paid for the price of the movement . The case is a bonus. Here it is. Sharp edges with no crown tube Faked engraving compares to authentic Omega stamping....
