·That is wrong in so many ways, but the obvious signs: movement, 12hr bezel that makes no sense, and "Master Co-axial Chronometer"

·Additionally compare the general quality of the text on the back on the watch to any other Omega…

It’s supposed to be the Bond Spectre bezel, but yeah there is a lot going on with that watch.

Now I'm wondering how many dials Omega printed "Master Co-Axial Chronometer" before they changed to "Co-Axial Master Chronometer".
EDIT: Did some googling, so "Master Co-Axial" was for anti-magnetic watches before Omega started getting METAS certifications for "Master Chronometer". Learn somethin new every day, love this hobby.
Well, heres a pic for the OP:
Aside from printing (and overall) quality. Looks like the fake doesnt have a sandwiched dial either.

·One other dead giveaway that this is a fake (besides the obviously fake movement) is the quality of the NATO on it - that is nowhere near the quality of a real Omega NATO and pretty clearly fake. Even if you didn’t see the other signs and thought the watch head was real, you’d have to wonder why they would have a fake strap on a “real” watch.
