Hello all-
I've had my watch for about 20 years now. It's been sitting in a drawer for 15 years or so, and just thought of it yesterday. I am wishing to authenticate it. I have gone to the Omega site and tried the automated system- but I think I am doing something incorrectly. Honestly, I don't know anything about watches. My wife took it to a local watchsmith today (the local jewelry stores won't touch it) and had a new battery put in. It seems to be working and keeping time fine. I have all the numbers from inside the watch, and tried to put the numbers into the Omega site. I couldn't get any results, but I'm a bit confused what number goes into what line.
Here's what I know-
The dial reads Omega, Constellation, quartz. It is set with 33 diamonds. It has day-date. The back reads *10 K. Gold Filled.
I think the band is called a bracelet style.
The watchsmith found these numbers for me-
Case #
8642
1960076.1
Movement
Calibre 1346
Serial #
40
377629
This is exactly what he wrote, with the line breaks
I did figure out that this watch is from 1977, so I did do something right (I hope).
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm just confused with all of the numbers- for example do I just use the 8642 as the case number, or do I use 86421960076.1 with no breaks, do I lose the "."? The help says for 4 numbers, or for 6 or 7 numbers... but nothing about 12 numbers.
Where do I put the serial number in?
Sorry- I am confused. I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to research my watch, and another 2 already today. It's time to swallow my male pride and ask the experts :)
I don't have a way to host pictures, so I cannot add any. I don't have pictures of the inside anyways.
Thanks so much!
Joe
