Hi! I’m just helping my grandpa. He was given this omega watch in the 70s or 80s and just wanted to know if this is authentic or fake. We don’t have any stores near us to help us authenticate.

I tried looking online and noted differences in the dial (star, then the placement of the Omega name)

Thank you so much in advance for your inputs!

Looks good to me. Genuine Omega with the original bracelet. Get a watch guy to open the back and all the information that you need is on the watch movement and the inside of the case back. Good luck

They really did switch up the ordering on the scripts! It does make it hard to know what you're looking at. Are you planning on wearing it?

Here is one the same for sale now on eBay. It's on a strap rather than the original bracelet.

Not quite exactly the same. OP’s (which looks fine to me) is later. You can tell by the separator between the day and date.

Actually, this was also a factor, the separator which I don’t see commonly online. Thank you so much!

Thank you! We’ll try to look for a watch person who can open the back.

The crown looks a little funny to me. Do you have a picture showing the end of the crown? I think it might be a generic replacement, but that is easy to set straight.

Possibly a redial but need clearer photos to see.
Everything else looks ok to me
