    Need help verifying the authenticity of the movement on a 1950s omega

    I don't pretend to be very knowledgeable on identifying movements so I thought I would appeal to all the experts on the forums. Does this movement look like a legitimate Omega?

    Omega 17 Jewels, Caliber 410, Serial 15730353, circa 1950s

    Here is a picture of another movement of the same model that is known to be authentic.

    Define "authentic". It looks to be at least one legit movement, but most likely is a combination of two. It's difficult to imagine how two plates on the same watch could show such a big difference in wear, so most likely it's a combination of multiple movements. And even if it <is> all one movement, if the plates show this level of dirt, you can only imagine what the parts that are able to actually rust look like.

    Yes it is genuine Omega.

    This is the movement driving your blue dial Omega I'd suppose.
