Spotting a fake (ORIS)

[Teocali]

Recently been passed a couple of watches after a family clear out.

One is rolex oyster date which I am 90% sure is a fake from the poor quality finish, however another is a much older looking ORIS and I have no idea how to determine whether this is genuine or not.

Any ideas?

I like the style of the ORIS watch but dont want to pay for a repair (currently not working) only to be told its worth £5!

Appreciate any advice.

Got any shots of the movement?

I really don't think it's a watch that will have been faked at the time.

It certainly wouldn't have lasted, if it is a snide from years ago, there should be base metal coming through the 'steel' by now if it's a load of crap.

Pretty sure it's OK.

Thank you all for the comments. I will contact him and see if he is prepared to look at the watch.

Sorry that wasnt clear - theres no doubt at all in my mind that you have a genuine watch and Ryte Time will be the best firm to service it for you.
