Pass. The dial has been repainted, not sure about the rest. No original Omega dial has that anti-magnetic script that I am aware of.

Dial is definitely fake/redial, and that caseback etching looks like it was done by a 5th grader. I vote fake.

One of the most common fakes of the era, absolutely junk.

Those markings on the back should be inside not outside and they aren't correct either way.

Every time I see these atrocities, I really wonder what makes them “appealing enough” to go through the process of creating an account here to ask the question. Something must feel attractive, but I am really unsure what it is…

In any case, you can be glad you asked before buying! 😉

It's worse than a copy, because nothing about it correct.

The stamp should show lady Helvetica for a 18 k watch. This face is just a poor attempt.

Common fake from that era.

I think it’s time to trot out this article again, with its sidebar on Omega watches:

Thanks Evan.
I just wasted an hour browsing the rest of the articles about stuff from the 1960s/1970s.
Some weird and wonderful things there, interesting though.
