    Long story short, I was at a yard sale and picked up this piece for 20$, I am trying to see if I got a great deal via dumbluck or did I fool myself. pictures attached, I couldn't really figure out what watch this was.

    writing on it is as follows:

    Omega Seamaster Auto - 08 - 388 - water resistant written in back

    BTW, if you're interested in watches, we could probably help you find a decently priced real Omega. That way you'll have a happy ending after all.

    Not to be annoying but the bezel looks a little off and should the watch read "Swiss Made" on the bottom of the dial?

    This is a very sad looking fake.
