Re: removal of crown? found BUT FAKE or not?

: Hello Willem,
Jack
thanks, works indeed.

and now it becomes strange: 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?
the picture of the watch i gave in the original post is a good watch from a unsuspected source and serves as comparison only, but that has case reference 155007
thanks again
Willem
: I asked a similar question about my Omega Dynamic.

: The crown just pulls out!

: I was a little apprehensive when I tried it but if you look at the
: end of the stem it has a split in it. This just clips over
: another part in the movement.

: When you want to put it back put the stem/crown in and slightly
: turn until you feel it has lined up OK and just push it in.

: Hope this helps.

: Jack
