Dealer clock authenticity

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.

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.

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.

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 🙁

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?

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

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?
