    Hello,

    I search on Omega website and I couldn't find this model, I'm not sure if it's original or not ::confused2:: Help me please!

    Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures.
    I earn this watch from my uncle, so It's kind of scratched... But I kind of like It.

    So, is It original?

    Fake!
    Probably supposed to impersonate a 1957 Replica.

    Sorry

    No, as you've found out, it's a "replica", which is a nice slimy word for a fake.

    However, if you aren't a watch collector and only want to keep it for the link to your Uncle, then just wear it as a daily beater and when it shits itself, chuck it in the bin.

    And while you are wearing it (if you must) DON'T tell anyone it's an Omega, you'll only make yourself look like a dork or a wannabe.

    You "earn"ed it from your uncle? Did you do a lot of work to "earn" it? :eek:

    Sorry, OP may not have English as primary language. Meaning may have been misconstrued.

    But i'll wait and see.

    so.

    This is what it should look like for reference...

    On OP's watch the bezel is too shiny, detail on dial way off and none of these were "Automatic Chronometers" this is a dead giveaway!

    Well, ok then.
    I'll keep and use It as a daily beater. I'm not a watch collector anyway.
    I just wanted to know If It is a replica, to answer correctly when anybody ask about It.
    I'm sorry about my spelling mistake, as you said, English is not my primary language.
    Thanks a lot guys.
