    Need some help here please. I'm new to the forum and just noticed this one on eBay and am wondering wether it is fake?

    It's not a fake in so far as it originally left the factory as an Omega pocket watch. Someone has spent a lot of time and patience turning it into what it is now.

    Its value is as a novelty rather than as an Omega watch and doesn't appeal to me, but I can appreciate the effort and skill that has gone into making it what it now is.

    Moved this out into its own thread, these are common in former communist countries, as Stewart said, it was a normal pocket watch that someone has recently turned into that
