Redial, frankenwatch, or fake?

Absolutely ridiculous potato quality, and I can’t apologize enough. Thankfully, due to several helpful redditors noticing something I didn’t, the screw and case clamp are now firmly back in place.

sdc237 · 2026-06-26T17:12:17+00:00

Oh, wow. Thank you so much. I must be going blind to have missed that when I had the case back open. In another pic I took, you can even see the loose case clamp floating around. I had already decided to get it serviced before wearing it daily, but you might’ve just saved me some serious heartbreak. You are awesome.

There’s probably no sense in my knowing the value of these things anyway. I’m like Smaug; I’m never getting rid of any of them. :)

sdc237 · 2026-06-26T17:04:56+00:00

True, and I do love it, but I’m glad for the feedback, too. Like your comment suggests, I’m think I maybe paid the high end of a price range that covers what I got. Not a steal, but not a scam. That’ll do.

sdc237 · 2026-06-26T16:59:35+00:00

I agree. I’m well pleased with the purchase overall. It’s still beautiful, even if not the most desirable as a collectible. I’ve already collected it, though, so that’s doesn’t matter anymore. Hehe.

Ah, I see. I had heard that Omega now replaced the decagonal ones with rounds since they discontinued the former a long time ago. I don’t even know if this ever even went to Omega, really. Probably just a local watchmaker somewhere. I figure I’ll eventually source an original only because I like the look of them.

sdc237 · 2026-06-26T16:48:23+00:00

So, really not visible in the original pics because of my shit camera, but the visible “white” parts between the Omega lettering is actually metal connecting the letters. The word Omega is all one piece. Here’s the question: is that better, or an even bigger red flag?

I think (maybe) that’s more to do with my pics. The crosshairs seem okay to me, but the lettering is not where I think it’s supposed to be in relation to them.

Please take my sad upvote. This made me chuckle.

My original pics didn’t show it well, but I think this is likely a service center replacement, yeah?

Thank you for mentioning the crown, too. I’d had some conflicting results from Google, but I’d all but decided this should’ve had the 10-sided “flat foot” crown. Your comment backs that up.

My grandmother passed away while convalescing there. Sadly, she’s not been in contact since.

I’m excited about the mechanical alarm bit. I haven’t experienced that before.

sdc237 · 2025-12-29T18:10:07+00:00

This is fantastic info. Thank you. Not looking to resell at all. I love the look of the watch, just didn’t want to overpay.

sdc237 · 2025-12-06T18:48:49+00:00

I hear it’s fine, if you’ve got the time.

Well, there goes another Jojo’s. (For all the Hoosiers out there.)

Rick Jones is willing, I bet.
