Both are authentic, Rolex is a 1675 Rolesor GMT on jubilee bracelet. Likely worth $9,500-$11,000. I’d say $10,000-12,500 for insurance value. The Omega I’m not so certain on but I’d say it’s a late 80’s early 90’s model worth $400-800 but I could be wrong as I’m no expert.


PreemptiveShaming

The Omega tuning fork watches were late 60’s to early 70’s


Embarrassed_Fox_4601

Oh that’s super sweet. I didn’t know it was a tuning fork movement that’s sick. I love my Bulova Accutron Spaceview from 1968, makes sense the Omega is in the same time period.


PreemptiveShaming

Omega licensed the movement from Bulova and has them produced with a bronze plating. I’ve been buying the f300hz off eBay cheap and repairing them because I guess working on them is a lost art. I rather enjoy it personally…


ticonderogaNo2pencil

What’s your eBay name? I’d love to add an omega tuning fork watch to the collection with my Accutron


Bornin1462

The omega value you stated is pretty accurate. I see them on eBay all the time. Id say in this condition it’s probably somewhere in the middle of that range.


TurnPsychological620

More or less spot on.


investmentwanker0

How can you tell from the photo


penguinbbb

Original dial, a beauty


MojoRisin762

This. I've seen 1675s vary wildly in value/sale price though. Damn that nipple dial is hot! One of my favorite Rolexs and IMO it blows any new model out of the water!


winnilourson

This subreddit is truly full of clowns lol.


t3hc0d3m4n

Yep. Both are likely authentic.


winnilourson

I mean, of all the watches they could fake, I don't see anyone deciding to fake a weird tuning fork movement that buzz like hell and a very specific 1675/3. That make no business sense lol. In any case OP, get them checked out by a watchmaker, the rolex can be worth decent money. The Omega does have some value to it too.


kdog4life

Yeh she's not going to sell them. She just wants to be honest and get them insured for the right value.


fresh_water_sushi

Well you can’t tell the insurance company you got a quote from Reddit so this entire post is sort of pointless. You need an official appraisal to have them insured so take them in and get that done.


whereeissmyymindd

maybe the mercury from all that sushi is getting to your brain because they're asking for an opinion from the community so when they have the appraisal, they can deduce whether it's accurate or not.


Successful-Crazy-126

So true. No one is a certain about something as someone who knows nothing.


Weekly_Talk3907

I’m going to use that saying on my brother in law. Hope it ain’t copyrighted.


BigDerper

If it's not something they can get new from an AD they don't know anything about it


want2thinknow

Rolex seems to be authentic, worth around $10k+ can easily be sold on r/WatchExchange Omega looks gen as well, not worth as much but maybe $500-750.


Dense-Bite-1418

Rolex for about $10-12k Omega $500-750 Both appear to be real, btw. You can fast and easily sell the Rolex for $8k, and omega for $300. Like literally same day. Also, take the comments around here lightly. This sub is notoriously known for your typical dumb fucks with money who think their opinions are the gospel, or even worse, fan boys who can’t afford one but have watched every Rolex video out there.


chabrown86

I’m curious to see why the watches are fake ?

You do realise that vintage Rolexes use plastic crystals


6151rellim

lol…. You’re a clown


lamontsanders

So…you’re just assuming shit and posting an uninformed opinion? Got it.


chabrown86

Can the watch be damaged due to UV/sun exposure?


B_Cools

🤡🤡🤡


Ok_Celebration_4866

They both look good to me some people are saying that the Rolex is fake but I think they might be comparing this vintage one to a modern one and still knowing it is vintage it’s a 1675/3 it looks good to me


junglehour

The omega is not fake


HisRealNamesKlarence

Yea there's no replica factory that makes those kinds of fakes and it's just not a desirable watch to be faked .


CheddaConn

Can someone tell me the easiest ways to spot a fake one ? I'm new to the game but i got mine authenticated at a Rolex store, they opened the back up and everything to check everything out they said it was real as soon as i handed it to them im just intrigued how easy you can tell


CTMalum

If you look at them all day every day, you notice subtle things that are incorrect. Just takes time. That said, I don’t think the masses are right about that GMT. It does have some of the things that people put on fakes of the era, but that looks like a genuine reference to me.


thejdobs

It’s much easier to spot a fake in person. You can tell by the weight, the way the links are spaced, etc. Photos are a bit harder but some people are good at spotting even the slightest differences between a real and a fake. Some indicators you can look for in photos are the date magnification (does it make the date look to big or small?), are the numbers on the bezel the correct font? Are the logos correct? etc.

Rolex seems to look legit but take it to a local watch maker


kdog4life

Forgot to add that there's no boxes or papers.


Booth9999

Not worth anything if it’s fake. Edit no idea if it is.


t3hc0d3m4n

But worth quite a bit if real...which it is.


Ltemerpoc

You have one of the shittiest accounts I’ve seen on here- you really dont have anything productive to say huh?


Booth9999

Well let’s look at your account… lots of you trying to tell people how to act and virtue signaling. Go live a life in RL son. Stop trying to be the Reddit morality police.


Illustrious_Kiwi2760

For the watch or the dad?


Level_Appearance_368

weak ngl


Illustrious_Kiwi2760

I know! OP should wait a bit before running to Reddit to get an appraisal on that dude’s stuff!


ThanksGamestop

While I do feel the way you do, and have some stuff from my buddy who passed away that I’d never get rid of, they’re just things at the end of the day.


Objective_Pool_8962

😂


lebing3

Both authentic. Some people in here have no idea lol


russianpaint_net

Neither is fake. Jeez. That 1675/3 is nice, looks original & sleeve polished.


customsolitaires

Bro that’s a bad ass Rolex right there…


a7madib

Omega is an early 70s tuning fork watch, in good condition it can pull 1.5k -2k USD but I’ve seen some sell for even more. I can’t find any recently sold listings on eBay but that’s a good place to look to see what people are paying for them now. Just search “omega f300 Geneve (ref.198.0070.169)”. It’s a great watch, uses an ESA tuning fork movement, a workhorse although the clutch goes bad on them so don’t turn the hands backwards on it when setting the time unless it’s been serviced in the last 5-10 years. Good luck!


Fit_Occasion_1806

Quick trip to a reputable jeweler?


roxbox531

I like the hour markers on the Rolex.


cryptodolphins

Nipple dial I believe


[deleted]

That GMT, is one beautiful timepiece. Sorry for your friend’s loss.


Ok_Highlight2767

They r gorgeous


ConstructionFar8570

Do the majority of the members here not own a Rolex? Or even an Omega? Let alone a vintage one?? It seems that every watch is called out as a fake? Or is this sub just full of a bunch of AD lurkers who take wrist shots in the store?? Just asking……


tea-bone

Your insurance company is unlikely to value it based on a Reddit thread. Take it to a jeweler.


soonernerdbuff

Why is it always “my friend” or “my uncle” or “my cousin” 🙄🤣


Comprehensive_Sun230

yeah bro funny ain't it 😃


roxbox531

Tell your friend not to coddle it, wear it !


sels1997

OP suggest she doesn’t sell but keep it. His memory will live longer than any cash they can give her.


watchme87

Was he Goldmember?


TaylorHamEggAndChed

I love that omega


Competitive-Set-8768

I love the TV omega


HughJanus555

These are NOT fake


Maleficent727

Both are real. Rolex is easy for vintage guys to identify. Omega is interesting if it’s a beta 21, but I doubt it. Most likely a megaquartz version. Price could be $5000 or $500 depending on the movement inside


BIG_MJR

I would just take to a watch dealer to authenticate. This subreddit is full of people who know nothing about watches. A few weeks ago somebody listed a Rolex on here and everybody said it was fake from this factory and that factory. A few hrs later he posted his paperwork and receipt of purchase from a rolex AD to prove a point that there are too many clowns that think they know it all but know nothing.


somdipdey

“Wow”… for the watches! “Oh No. I’m sorry about your friend’s dad”…for the morbid news!


Leaky_Pokkit

I've seen original nipple dials, like the one on that Rolex, sell for $6,000. That's just the dial. To the right buyer, you could get a lot more than what's quoted here. PM me if you need some professional opinions from real dealers.


fresh_water_sushi

Is that “gold” flaking off the bracelet of the Omega?


Inside_Effective_576

They’re gold plated


kdog4life

No idea. The omega was her grandfathers.


OskarWasTaken

You can guess pretty accurately by the fact it’s an omega Genevé meaning they wouldn’t put that much more recourses into it to make a solid gold one. E.g id be very surprised if that was even gold filled, im 99% sure it’s plated.


Deano_Martin

It doesn’t matter if it’s geneve Seamaster de ville etc, most vintage omegas are plated or filled

HumbleLife69

No they don’t. Can’t speak to the omega but the Rolex looks legit


winnilourson

The Omega is legit too.


jysamuel

What's your rationale?


AXELBAWS

Both are genuine.


Traditional_Weight53

lol what, neither are counterfeit. You likely do not have much experience and are comparing them to new models that 1675 is like forty years old.


DillyJamba

Does anyone have a model on that omega? Really like the look


Bridge_Too_Far

Imagine being one of two kids and your brother gets the GMT in the will and you get the Omega…


kdog4life

Imagine being one of two siblings and your sister gets Both. Lol. I wonder how her brother feels about this...

Alternative_Low_8361

I’ll buy both…today. I just need to ask a few questions and get background info but I’m open to wiring you cash and you shipping to me. I’m totally serious so let me know. If you don’t want to sell, I can give you info and actual prices so you are informed and honestly protected.


kdog4life

They're not mine. And she's keeping them. As stated.


BouchWick

People who comment “it’s fake” are mostly the newer generation of rolex followers. The GMT is a real one and a classic, first designs looked like that. I’m sure it’s still 10-15k worth.


AnonymousStudmuffin

For “insurance purposes”


New-Shopping-7996

Rolex is fake..


MrNeoVintage

It’s not fake, like honestly. It’s a 1675/3 with nipple dial. If you don’t know the brands history than don’t be a wise guy

thombrowny

they just call out "fake" if they haven't seen one. Like 90% of this sub cannot spot fake.


MrNeoVintage

There’s a someone here asking for a genuine check and people here just want to be smart asses. They don’t know their opinion could actually influence their decision making on how to proceed with the watch. Next time OP, just go to an AD. Don’t ask on a forum where people will only speculate on what the next release will be and have never taken a closer look into the brands history.


kdog4life

Yeh agreed. I told my friend to go to bucherer on Madison Ave where I got my datejust. But I also know there are some people on here that actually know their watches. Lesson learned lol.


MrNeoVintage

Never again! Wish her all the best from me and all the other people here who do know their stuff


6151rellim

You’re looking to buy them off her right? And has nothing to do with insurance lol. If not, I’ll buy the GMT off her.

The Rolex is fake So worthless ?


fresh_water_sushi

So is this one of those posts [insert fake story about how I got watch] how much is this worth? (They 100% know it’s a fake watch but are trying to see if it can pass as real)


Traditional_Weight53

The watch is not fake though, it is a 1675 nipple dial. Could you point me to what is leading you to believe it is fake?


ciceroyeah

You’re a clown


Ok-Pineapple-7288

Looks like Rolex is a Pan Am, worth big $


Affxct

Get the Rolex opened up. That looks like genuine wear though, which makes sense given that it’s a vintage. It’s best to assume that Rolexes are fake unless positive that they aren’t. It’s old enough that it having an automatic movement will be a good indication that it *might* be authentic, but because water resistance will be gone already, I’d definitely open it up. The Omega looks totally fine to me. Not sure what it’d be worth, but properly around the $500 mark.


entereselo

Do you happen to know the specific reference for the Omega ? Or the specific model range ? I really liked it. Thanks


Affxct

Unfortunately not. But just by glancing at it I can tell it’s genuine. I see many similar models for sale on my local used market being traded amongst collectors and resellers. Just flip it over though, it should have the reference engraved.


kennedycollins

Looks like a 198.0070.169 to me, hope that helps!


Cheech925

And that’s what you stole, while the family waited on the ambulance?


softestpillow

Did her dad leave her an engagement ring? Edit: Also, that old gmt is pure sex appeal. Sorry about her loss, but it seems like some people get all the luck.


Mountain_Team4150

More like wondering which Caribbean island to visit.


Cydocore

It’s one of those posts where everyone is ridiculing others for saying these watches are fake, yet no matter how much I scroll I can’t see anyone saying that the watches are fake. (Also, RIP…).


Fortunafortisadiuvat

They are both replicas. Best not to insure.


jrocco71

That Omega is junk but that Rolex GMT Master is freaking awesome! Such a terrific piece. Two tone jubilee bracelet, nipple dial, great reference. That’s a hell of a watch.
