Came across this on my travels today. I know it’s fake but out of interest wanted the experts to take a look and see and give their thoughts. Would it fool the average member of the public or would it be spotted a mile away?

Spotted a mile away by anyone with any watch knowledge. 90% of the public would think it’s a watch.

Fooling yourself if you were even thinking of buying it.

Got a sneaky suspicion that you bought it and it’s photographed on your lounge 😗

Anyone who knows watches would spot it as a fake from 238,855 miles away.

90% of the public would think it’s a watch.
And the other 10%? 😁::stirthepot::

Anyone 'watch' person would know it is a fake from 5 feet. Any non-watch person would realize, "yes, this is a watch" and not care at all.

The interesting thing about watches: No one actually cares/knows anything about them. There are a handful of brands the general public knows anything about (Rolex, Movado, perhaps Patek, typically not Omega). This is the DUMB thing about fakes to me (at least these bad ones): unless it is a Rolex, you're not going to impress any of the general public, and the rest of us will think you're a melon head.

You’d be wrong but that’s ok, I’m in the process of buying my first omega new from retail at the moment. I’d never buy second hand for the chance of getting a fake as my knowledge is limited.

From what I understand the subdial on the right would be in minutes not hours so knew it was fake as soon as I saw it. That and the suspiciously low price the seller was trying to pass it off for.
