In a way, "yes". Not mentioning the bezel is missing. If you want to learn about the buckle, here the link https://omegaforums.net/threads/about-omega-buckles.37347/
Well, consider this is a lesson, I hope you could do better next time.
There is a thread for hunting watches on ebay. Here
With respect I not sure you know what you are talking about. It is certainly not fake and while I think I see your concern and the photos aren’t clear , I don’t see a missing bezel either. Overpriced yes, fake no.

I can't see anything wrong with the movement. Care to explain your concerns?

well. Let’s compare the 613 movement that you said “no problem” with a photo I collect online. Do you really think that an omega movement should has script like that
1. Movement tou said that is “ok” @JimInOz

Those scripts can’t even stay straight and in-line with each other. Look at the pointed “A” in OMEGA and WATCH; compare with the more flat “A” in other photo. And well, I think they were engraved by hand by someone. Agreed!?

The seller's photos are heavily edited so that may account for the bad picture. I would like to see the OPs movement in a decent photo when they get it.

The markings on a movement are done by an automatic pantograph engraving machine. Sometimes a stylus may become worn or loose in a collet and produce less that satisfactory markings, but I can't see any evidence of frehand engraving.
Sometimes these lesss than satisfactory examples slip through the QA net, but not too often.

Haha very funny. So please could you explain why the serial number in this photo still looking good and the gear, the teeth and everythings else of the movement are not deformed. Only the scripts are looks so so bad.

If you are post farming please stop. If you are being sincere please look at more watches before you engage in advice giving of this quality.

well you’re right. I did make two wrong advices in recent days but I admited them when others pointed them out. If you insist the caliber 613 left the Omega factory like that then I have nothing more to discuss btw :-/

Hi. Here are the photos I took. Would you say it's not worth keeping and servicing, considering I paid almost 400€? Is it overpriced, as it's been stated? There's also a video that shows how the mechanism stops. Thanks!

What are your concerns exactly? I don't think anyone in this thread made any plausible points that would lead you to return it. Paying for a service is another question altogether. That's a sizable expense for a watch like this, and maybe you should live with it for a few months before deciding.

The second clock hand is not working. As you can see in the video, it stops after a few seconds. Briefly, the mechanism doesn´t work.

Have you wound it fully until you can't turn the crown anymore?

No, I haven`t. I'm new to mechanical watches, and I thought it should already work by itself. Could you please tell me how to do it exactly?

Turn the crown clockwise until it won't turn anymore. It will probably need at least 30 turns, and eventually it will come to a hard stop. Don't try to force it any further. This is a manual winding mechanical watch. You will need to wind it every day.
