Dealer clock authenticity

[omegafanatic88]

I came across this piece on eBay, but I wasn’t sure of the authenticity of it. I work for omega and we have a similar clock on the wall, but I can’t take it off the wall to see the markings on the back.

That's hilariously bad, in my opinion. One obvious tell is the Patek medallion haphazardly glued to the back of the movement.

Hint a luxury brand would not have something with the printing in the hour markers that offset.

These are "replica"* clocks and aren't official Omega products.

* ("Replica" means "Fake", and also "Counterfeit")

Even the "Omega" display clocks aren't made by Omega, but by another company in Switzerland that make display clocks for many brands. I think it's RUEGG S.A. in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

There are thousands of "dealer display clocks" floating around on the interwebs. Most of the fake ones have nice Swiss sounding names etc on the quartz motor like this:



But the closest any part of this clock ever got to Switzerland was the fake stamping and stickers.

This is one huge watch

I was given this clock and I'm not sure if this is worth having repaired? Can someone help me figure this out? Forgive me for posting here I'm just not sure how to start my own 🙁

 

[JimInOz]

Repair should be easy.
Please show photos of the back of the clock and the movement.
Does it have a seconds hand or only the hour and minute hands?

 

[JimInOz]

PS: Looks like no seconds hand as the minute hand cap precludes it.

I'm not sure if this is a knock off or actually has value. I don't see a second hand and not sure if it is supposed to

It looks to be of better quality than most of the eBay style touted as "Dealer Clocks".

Re-attaching the minute hand should take a couple of minutes, it's not a hard fix.

And I'd say a genuine item.

So I just took the back cover off and saw this. Does ot mean it is real?

Without doubt.

That label was on the inside? If so I’d say it’s real as even though it would be easy to print up a fake label, why would they bother if it’s hidden inside?

My brother would probably wanna sit on that!
