Interesting Omega or Not? What is this?

MLwatchfan · May 2, 2017

Super new to this, but I found this alleged Omega and can't determine what it is with the caliber and etc. Historically, it appears there are only 4 Omega calibers with 25 jewels, but none of them look like this. I cannot even find a DeVille or an Aqua Terra with similar day, date, month complications in what appears to be a chrono. Plus, I know that the co-axial with open case back has to be post-1999, and this appears to be a limited edition. To make it worse, this watch will require service if I purchase it. I just like how it looks and want to get it if it is real.

What is this? Thanks for any and all help/suggestions!

This thread belongs in the Modern Omega section. I'm no expert but that looks like a fake.

Complete fake - not even close to a real one.

Really? A very bad fake!

Terrible fake !

We hope you didn't buy it! Amazing how much effort the Chinese put into duping the unwary. If you didn't buy it, be thankful you checked here, first

What makes you come to the conclusion that it is Chinese that produces this fake watch? I would like to learn a thing or two about how to detect a fake and its country of origin.

The Chinese sell this watch under many different brands, usually there own brands though, omega never made anything like that.

terrible looking!

MLwatchfan · May 3, 2017

Thanks. I did not buy it. I'm new to watches, but it looked like it had too many weird parts wrong with it (like chrono pushers with no actual chrono). They were asking a lot for it, so I thought maybe they knew something I didn't and it was real. Also, that is exactly why I checked here first. Thanks again!

Do you doubt that it is Chinese? Well, it is not an Omega. People who buy this stuff believe there is a free lunch, and are not prepared to shell out the price of quality watch with full features such as on the subject watch. Where else in the world but China could such an elaborate fraud be created, and offered at a price these people will pay?

Because they have the factories to do it. You can buy them on Chinese websites. They are shipped from china. They are sold on eBay by Chinese sellers. So they must be made in Maine.

Oh man, this GIF made me chuckle. I'm still grinning as I type this out.

You win the day, sir!

Oh, and this is one of the worst fakes I've ever seen.

Yes, this watch needs a service for sure. Please send it quickly to Omega to get it done asap 🍿

Cheers,

The layout of the dial is typical of cheap Chinese tourbillon-style watches. Yours for only $38.99:

Hey, it is a limited edition.

Omega makes expensive watches with good finishing. If it looks like shit, as this does, it is not genuine.
