I recently picked this up at an estate sale. I would like to give it to my wife as a present after I get it properly cleaned up. And I'd like to do it as soon as possible. But before I put more money into it I would really appreciate knowing if it looks ok to those that know a lot more than me. And what model it is? I haven't had much luck finding this configuration on the net, so if I could be pointed in the right direction I would be grateful. Below are some pics. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Sorry to inform you that it's a fake and not a good one.

Thank you for the message. What a bummer. I thought that I got lucky and was excited about the idea of giving it to my wife. Guess I now know why I can't find any other Omega's with this particular dial. Thanks again for the response.

Sadly the trash bin is the best place for it

Think of the satisfaction you'll get when you combine these ingredients:

1 watch
a large hammer
one anvil

Time to prepare - 5 minutes.

Amount of joy - Priceless

I really appreciate the responses. I went from feeling like the big winner for only having paid $20 for this watch and being really excited about giving it to my wife as a gift to feeling like a big dumb dumb for getting duped....went from the mountain top to the mountain trough in short order. Such is life I suppose. Thanks again for the responses, very much appreciated.

A good lesson for only $20 is something to be thankful for!

Oo err its ruder than a 70s jazz mag.
Sometimes the odd gem can be had but in my experience the fakes end up on car boots and markets etc.
