My fault

Yes I admit this is my fault for not checking the details but I found this watch after a long day of shopping at a Huge outdoor Antique show in Brimfield Ma., We had already been walking and hunting for over 10 hours, we were tired and checking out one last field before a 2 hour drive home. The dealer had hundreds of nice watches and when I spotted this one I think my brain froze. The seller opened it for me and I did a very quick check, I was more concerned with the movement and only quickly glanced at the case back but I did notice the Omega triangle and qucikly purchased it. It wasn't til I was comfortably at my desk and examining my many purchases that I noticed the problem, I 'm not concerned that I won't be able to return it because I do have all the contact information and his card. I'm still holding out that this is just an uncommon example because I really like the way it looks. If I can't return it, it will just be another learning experience that I will remember when I'm out shopping for watches. Mean while I would like to know if any other members have either seen this style case or worse owned one in the past. Thanks, 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....

pretty expensive movement

Thanks for the suggestion, while you might of paid little for your watch, I'm not prepared to keep this for the movement at the price which I paid for the watch. I'll be returning it tomorrow, actually this is a wonderful excuse to hit the fields again, t...
