What do you guys think of this? Photos attached. real? From my limited knowledge I’m guessing the back is a recase?

The tarnish / patina look correct. I’m guessing the crown was replaced as it does not have the Omega logo.

Im guessing stay away but I’m in the market for a leather strapped watch and this caught my eye. Thanks so much!

The steel caseback is original. As for a refinished dial, I'd say no, original. However, if you look around the edges, the dial is flaking quite badly, so that is a reason to run screaming.

Nice try, pick another. 😀

Hm can you find an example with no "swiss made" and that "automatic" script?

That script, yes. You have a point with the Swiss Made, however. I was focused on the deterioration. In any event, we agree it's not worth spending money on.
