    Hi there.

    I have been gifted this from my uncle and just wondering if anyone knows what model it is so I can track it down? It’s in need of a clean before it goes anywhere!

    Let me know if you know!

    It's a terrible fake (AKA more correctly as a counterfeit).

    i hope your uncle has a sense of humor and is playing a joke. Otherwise he either got robbed or found it on the street.
    If he did buy it, he needs to go back to where he got it (provided it wasn’t “a guy” with a table in the street) and demand his money back

    So it's a fake, yes, and worth nothing. But the consolation is that even if it were a real Omega and looked like this model, it still would be worth almost nothing. So it's not like you are missing out too much.

    It’s not worth nothing, someone got something out of it at that table on the sidewalk.
    Seriously, if someone gave this to me as a gift I would have to ask where they got it. Not to be rude or insult them but to make sure they didn’t get taken. There’s polite and then there’s allowing someone you care about be taken advantage of. If your uncle saw it at a flea market and knew you likes omega’s and paid $5 for it, then it’s good for a chuckle. But if he actually paid real money (more than $5) from a retailer, then you have the uncomfortable decision whether to say something or not

    ...and then what happens at the holidays when he’s over and your not wearing the watch-is this gonna be like the ugly Christmas sweater?!?!

    You see I have been down this tragic and stress inducing family gifting road. I just say make all gifts payable to the SPCA

    Unless this is a decent troll attempt, how in the world do you have 80 posts and have been a member for nearly a year and you can't tell this is a faker than fake piece of shit?
