Look online to see if you can find the same one however I would concur with your thoughts, this looks fake but I am no expert.

Very fake.
The crystal looks like it’s been through a cotton cycle in the washing machine.

I bought this 007 a couple of weeks back, initially I had thought it a fake but on viewing other genuine 007's I was less sure as this particular era of Bond watches do look a bit cheap and poorly conceived. However after purchase it did transpire to be a fake as I had thought.
I had prior to it's auction told the auction house of my concerns and they changed the description to a copy watch (fake) so not a lot of cash expended but it does serve as a cautionary note that these fake Omegas are in wide circulation and sometimes not easy to spot from seller photos.

The crown and endlink look whacky and the TM Danjaq on the clasp is missing a space...

So you bought it anyway knowing it was a fake? Why? Its worthless junk.

Yeah that missing space had me convinced.
Just looked off.
The endlinks initially thought weren't right but looking at legit ones I was less sure.

Cheap entertainment mostly.

The auction went live ( first auction) and went to $1200.00 very quickly however I had made my concerns made to the auction house staff earlier, part way thru they pulled the auction.

The PO is a fake... the easy tells are the material of the crystal, the HE valve placement, and the lume pip is not quite right, but one of the closest I've seen. Oh and the obvious serial number.... normally we see 001 not 007 on these....
