·Would you be able to pick them up in person? If you have it in your hand you will most likely feel if the case is real gold or just plated.

·The position of the Omega symbol could be parallax.
However:
The surface of the dial is wrong.
The minute haches are too far away from the edge.
The 2 index has been glued on.
The vertical cross hair shouldn’t touch the ‘e’.
The ‘l’ isn’t parallel to the vertical cross hair.
The case back is ok as far as I can see.
See, that's why I ask opinions here! Most of the meantioned things I totally missed. Thanks.

I think I would, yes. Some of the details, like printing, I think you see better from a high quality macro photo than with naked eye (loop or microscope in live setting is better still). But for a person familiar with stainless steel Constellations the gold one should feel different enough to notice just by holding the watch.

·So, this seller that had the watches I posted here plus couple other gold(?) Omegas just deleted their 15 years old account. Right after they managed to sell most of their gold Omegas... So it's a safe bet to say they were running some sort of an intentional scam.

·Would have been interesting tho to see one of these watches in person. Also I cannot really imagine how it can be profitable to "pruduce" these fake gold vintage scams, exspecially if they are using the correct chronometer Omega movements in their scam cases and are selling them for 750$. For me that is madness, but well..

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersIMHO, I don't think either of the cases are fake - it's just that the dials are questionable and the 14902 is heavily polished.
My comment about a scam is that the buyer would pony up their money and not receive a watch.
Its possible the 15-year old account had been hacked and has now been taken down.
