Is this a fake? - Omega DeVille

A local pawn shop is offering this for around 200$...

Is it a fake or ? I've never seen one and they don't know how to open it ( I wouldn't touch it as to stay an "uninformed buyer" )
It's around 5cm lug to lug and 3cm across... The dial is black with a blueish reflection and the "Swiss Made" is all weird to me.
My Google-Fu is not doing me any favors.

Thanks!

It looks OK to me.

Any Idea of a reference number i could try and research? At 200$ it seems a bargain to me when old TV dial geneves are going 3 times as much on the local marketplaces...

Looks like a reference 155.0005, Omega De Ville "Deauville" from early 1970s.

Seems like it is! But I can't find this dial configuration anywhere...

Omega made many many different dial variations, even on a specific model, and even more so on the ladies designs.
The dial is original in my opinion.
I understand.

At 200 if the bracelet fits your wrist and you like it go for it.

Agreed- and even if it’s not for you, at $200 it would make a nice gift...of course after spending the money on a service...don’t want to give a gift of a watch that craps out 2 weeks later....ask me how I know 😬

She got a handwound Geneve 😗 instead of a Wellington she wanted.
So this could be my "weird" watch I'll take another look tomorrow.
You guys are enablers :whipped:

Don't forget the dial came with many different variations.
