Hello everyone Omega enthusiasts!

I came across with this Omega, I'm almost sure it's fake, but you opinion is more valid as I'm very far of being an expert.

Thanks a lot in advance!!

I only needed to see the back. Omega never puts stainless steel on their backs.

Thanks y'all for the answers, I was almost sure but wanted to confirm. Also thanks to @Bruce235 as that "Stainless steel" mark seems a great look to identify a fake.

Stick around and you’ll soon learn the fine points about how to distinguish the fakes from the real thing.

It’s not just that, it’s a really bad one. Assuming for a second that this would have been a legit model, nothing is aligned, the lume dots are offset from the indices, the font, the hands, nothing works, without mentioning the case work.

On a real omega, all of these (including the finish details) should be excellent minus some possible wear or damage.

These are real Constellations. The difference in quality and detail between these and fakes is readily apparent.

And a real Manhattan style Constellation.

This watch intrigues me a bit. Not worth faking these days so I assume it’s a vintage fake. I can’t recall seeing another fake Manhattan.

"Anti-economic" fakes amaze me a lot to be honest!

Maybe there is actually also a fake vintage market!? 😁

In my opinion because they are way more “crude” they are a lot more interest… funny!

I imagine it was economical sometime in the past when these were more popular. Now we’re just left with this abomination.

This actually doesn't looks so bad to me anymore. What's happening to me?

They grow on you slowly. Faster if you have one on the wrist. They wear great. Super thin and the bracelet is amazingly comfortable. Keeps great time. It’s okay to love it and hate it at the same time. I do.

I have a fifties Connie and a sixties Connie. I do like the C-cases in the seventies and the f300 maybe I will get around to an eighties Manhattan some day.
It would make for a nice row in a watch box.
