    Ok, hoping someone can help me - my own nosiness has got me frustrated. Perusing ebay, I came across what looked like the winner of the 'Most likely to be a redial' 2013 award - a watch advertised as a 'manual wind constellation' with the most terrible pictures I've ever seen. Interesting, I think to myself, I'm pretty sure Omega didn't do a manual movement in a constellation. The seller had perfect feedback, so I thought I'd helpfully let him know. He came back asking if I could help him work out what it was and before you know it I was sucked in. According to him the caseback has no reference and he's sent me an equally shocking picture of the movement. I've been through the ranfft db and I can't find a match, so I'm leaning towards a fake - can anyone confirm what it actually is? :)

    Thanks in advance!

    The photo quality is terrible and I'm on my phone, but I'm also leaning toward fake

    I'm not an Omega expert, but those are not like any Omega bridges I've ever seen.

    No caseback photos - trust me, the dial looks even worse. I was never thinking about buying, just being a samaritan, i promise! Thanks all...
