·Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
Don’t know if it’s fake but it’s horribly damaged.
The dial is refinished, the case is gold plated with the plating completely worn, the hands appear to be incorrect replacements— its only worth the value of the movement inside if it is indeed Omega.
I’d say it can’t be worth more than 100 dollars?
(And even that I’m not sure)

·How is it decided if a watch is real, or a fake? People who don’t know if it’s is fake, or real, look for similarities based of visual cues they believe are real. Many of us look for differences! This is a fake, you can be certain. As to what it might be worth? Sentimental only, or if not sentimental, it is worth nothing to an Omega collector. To anyone else? Put it on eBay with no reserve, and if it passes the sniff test with eBay viewers, it is worth what you can get.....to somebody.

··Melbourne AustraliaSorry to tell you that it's worth nothing.
Because it's supposed to be a stainless steel case, this obviously isn't due to the chrome wearing through and exposing the base metal shell.
Because the Hippocampus logo looks like it was made from melted butter.
Because the style of hands was never used by Omega on Seamasters.
Because the "Seamaster" script on the dial is in the wrong font.
When you've spent years viewing and collecting Omegas, you can usually tell at first glance.

·I'm sorry, but the dial and case are clearly no good. If you take the time to study thousands of dials, then you will immediately recognize when the font is wrong.
We have seen many of these fakes in the past, and they always have a generic movement. If you think that the watch might have a legitimate Omega movement, then have the case opened and post photos.

··Melbourne AustraliaSimilar, but not the same as a "coat hanger" Seamaster, which it's trying to imitate.
That's quite possible.
Ever since Omega produced real ones, mainly faked in the 1950s and 1960s.

·There are none so deaf as those who refuse to listen! Because you don’t believe this watch is a fake doesn’t mean it will suddenly morph into a real one! Pay me $100 and send me this POS, and I’ll take it off your hands. On second thought, send me the money and throw this disgrace away!

·It’s understandable the watch means a lot to you, because it was your father’s watch. I say this to give you the benefit of the doubt even though your first question about the watch had to do with its value. The experts here won’t steer you wrong. You’ve actually gotten some very civil answers despite your somewhat less-than-diplomatic manner of questioning their responses.

·I don’t need a very much better picture to tell you that this wasn’t, isn’t now, and never will be an Omega! I suspect you hoped this thing had miraculously turned into an Omega miraculously, overnight! And, please do not ask us again how we can tell it is not an Omega. By now, you should be able to accept that NO is the answer.

·An in-focus photo would be better, but it has the look of a cheap pin-lever movement. Unfortunately, this confirms that the watch is a complete fake. As noted above, these have been quite common for a long time.

·You know better than this. Fake junk worth nothing. 100% sure.
I’m not saying otherwise.
I’m just saying I know absolutely nothing about Omega.
The only reason I took the liberty to chime in while I know nothing is that I know enough about vintage watches to see it was wrong in many respects.

·Well you give a very good impression of knowing an awful lot, or at least that was my impression based on your earlier post which are usually worthy of respect. I am sorry if I credited you with an expertise that in fact lays elsewhere! 👍
I’m honored by the vote of confidence-
in any event now with the movement shot it’s obvious even to me that the watch is not a real Omega.
