    This is my first posting. I’m a long time watch enthusiast, and have many middle of the range watches, and a couple of high end and many antique American pocket watches which I enjoy repairing and generally tinkering with, but no Omega watches. I’m considering purchasing this Omega, cal 269 see pictures, from an acquaintance. Its not in my possession so I can’t post further pictures at this stage. It’s marked as being 18ct gold on the gold coloured back but it clearly is not. He’s had it for a while and says it came from Italy in the 50’s.There is no serial no on the movement that I can see. He wants about £300 but he does not know if it is a fake. Can anyone throw some light. It’s not been serviced recently but looks clean, too clean (?) Judging from some comments I’ve seen already on the forum for other similar looking watches, it may well be a fake? Any comments would be gratefully received.

    Fake.
    Movement is probably an FHF manual wind.
    The caliber is shown under the balance wheel.
    Omega never used FHF movements.

    mega fake. The logo appears pinched and the movement isn't right. You only need to google a few to get an idea of how a standard 17j wind-up genuine Omega should appear. To my knowledge they didn't put words like "antimagnetic" or "incabloc" on the face of their watches...ever!.......now someone is going to come along and correct me on that! ;)

    I’d say fake all day long, very unrefined (logo, dial, hands, movement). Without trying to be rude, do you actually like it?

    I didn't even look at the dial, but you are correct, Omega never marked their dials with antimagnetic or incabloc.

    Definitely fake. Shouldn't have Anti Magnetic on the dial, movement is wrong, case is clearly low quality, Omega logo wrong and Omega didn't mark 18k on the outside of the caseback.
