Hi. I just bought this omega and it seems off to me. The bracelet looks fake but the movement looks good. What do you guys think?

What looks off to you, except for the crown?

I don't see anything particularly suspicious, though I don't know much about bracelets of that era. Its just a normal lowish-end watch of the era to me, with a worn crown. Its unfortunately gold-filled which makes its current value significantly less, but runs on an honest, albeit cheaply done (for Omega) 1480 movement.

The logo on the bracelet too thick and the dial colour. I think the grey dial came with the steel watch

I see quite a few with the silver dial + gold indices, thats not uncommon. See : https://www.croadco.com/product/ome...ing_wp_cron=1764533697.0623900890350341796875

I see what you mean about the bracelet logo being a little heavy of a stamp. Though, it DOES look like a logo Omega has used on other watches in the past, so I'd not be surprised if either it is a swap, or just a number of bracelet SKUs were shipped with this watch.

There are a lot of strange things going on here. A case that is in seemingly good condition but a worn the hell out crown. The bracelet fit into the case is WAY off. A clasp from Omega that says "Stainless Steel Hinge"????? Everything screams wrong here to me.

Its unfortunately gold-plated

FIFY 😉

Note that the bracelet is 14K GF though.

Bracelet may be from a US market watch and used to replace a worn or lost original.

PS: Forgot to add, all parts are genuine Omega IMO.

My mistake! I had 20m is filled, but of course it's not.
