The back says 18K not 14K. The movement is certainly a genuine Omega 552 caliber. Some pictures of the front of the watch might help tell more. | ||

I don't like the stampings on the insides. I have never seen anything like that before... So, yes, as Jim says, lets see the front shot! | ||

if back case is genuine, do you think it would effect its value & problem when re-sell? with consideration of this, how much you reckon? thanks | ||

I'm going to suggest that you look for another example with inner case back markings one would normally expect. The watch may be genuine, but it doesn't appear to be a Swiss made case. It might be an Omega for a foreign market, like Argentina, etc. and the case was made there. | ||
