Hi new member here. I’ve just bought at an auction (not eBay) what I first thought was a vintage omega. But having done a little research, I’m thinking it’s a fake. I haven’t paid the auction house yet as it was only yesterday. Couple of pics here (from the sale website). The word antimagnetic on face leads me to believe it’s fake?. But would welcome your expert opinions. Thanks

Your research is 100% correct I’m afraid.

Thanks so much. That was a close shave. Glad I haven’t paid yet! I’ll be sure to check out this forum next time. More haste less speed

A lot of nasty looking watches on that site.
You might want to look elsewhere.

And as a basic rule: If it says antimagnetic and Omega on the same dial, that’s a problem.

Yes, To right. Can’t help looking though. I need to learn more about what to look out for etc. Before diving in.
Now need to see what auction house says when I tell them I’m not paying. Hopefully they’ll accept responsibility and not say I still need to pay.
