    As soon as I see "14.900" my spider sense starts to tingle because that's the most often faked case reference for vintage Omega pie pans. One look at the font of Constellation and the date surround tell me that's probably a fake dial too. I'll let the rest add the details, but this is going to be like a couple of cops trying to add up all the moving violations from a high speed pursuit.

    Only thing real about the watch is the crown. This is ironic, as the crown is usually the first part replaced under normal circumstances.

    Those fake cases, dials and hands are still being sold by a US-based vintage watch seller who also promotes watch shows nationwide, so I'm afraid they are in the market to stay.
