Opened a newly received watch because I noticed some difference at the outside
the movement looks exactly like the automatic 684 including this number but no serial number.
the case has a number: reference for the case 155006 (which is comparable to 155007 which has somewhat other lugs)
but no case serial number.
What should I make of this?
the glass is a bit strange and the band is also somewhat "raw" has a number 1155/148 which is same format as other band numbers.
I am wondering if this watch is a good fake. does anyone know if there are such good imitations of the 684 movement?
visual strange things:
glass is not flat but shows distortion
case has more room between the connecting lugs.
band is somewhat course and less refined, no part to be removed.
all over the watch has omega on it but strange no numbers
below a link to a good watch from a unsuspected source and serves as comparison only, but that has case reference 155007
Am i had again? I had one returned recently, one good buy and not this one.
what amazes me it that people will imitate the movement so far it says omega and 684 but no serial number. i looked very thorough where the other example give a number and nothing anywhere.
any help appreciated. (AND i realize that ebay has problems indeed)
thanks
Willem
