    I bought this online. The band does not look original. Why is there no name on the dial? What model is this? Why is the crown not stamped?
    I really hope this is a real Omega...

    All good questions!
    Best time to ask them is before purchase!

    Run away too many issues with case, looks like missing bezel and did I mention the case.

    Look at the side on shot with the crown.....

    looks original for me.. But I don't know the movement.. maybe from 102x caliber.
    I have seen the omega with no type on the dial...

    also, does the bezel look like it's missing to you? is the crown original or do I need to replace that? either way, the band goes, yuk!

    So you entered into a legally binding contract and now you want to walk away? Cough up the money and put it down as a lesson learnt.

    If the contract is legally binding, then I agree with Canberra.

    If it is simply an offer to sell, I'd say stay away.

    The facts surrounding this transaction are not clear.
