hi and welcome to OF, we prefer here at OF that you post the pictures it is much easier for us.
i have not seen a omega watch like that before, the dial looks strange to me but i might be wrong, feel free to correct me

I think as long as you state where you got the pictures from there’s nothing to be afraid of in terms of copyright.

And the watch you posted - both actually - aren’t “fake”, I’m not sure how @jeppe888 would come to that conclusion, but I assume he meant something else. The term has become popular recently and I don’t agree with how it’s used. A fake, to me, is a cheap copy of a certain watch, pretending to be something it’s not. This 2256 certainly isn’t but it’s an Omega product. Case, movement, nothing fake about them. There might be issues - I’d wait for others to chime in regarding the originality of the dial, for example, as I am out of my depth with this ref, and the one on C24 has a yellow gold replacement crown on a rose gold case, which obviously isn’t the intended combination. But “fake” they’re not.

Thanks for your answers. I think also that Case, Movement, Hands, Crown are legit. Only the dial is the big question for me, there a few other Watches out there whith These dials. I hope it is the right dial, because I would be super happy to Buy it.

My sense is the dial's authentic. What's most interesting, though, is the movement, cal 280 - not often seen.

Interesting watch. I hope the specialists start to come into this thread. I think there is a mismatch between movement en watch. Was this not an end of 40’s model?

if you zoom into the dial I am not sure whether the gold dots should look like this. Also the letters are too crisp to me. But still nice.

Printing of the hour numbers is quite sloppy.
Look at 12, 2, 6. Gold color outside and the numbers not properly filled.
