Something tells me I should run screaming from this watch...

...but I thought I'd ask here first. I only recently caught the watch bug, but I'm alarmed by the apparently huge number of fakes and frankenwatches floating around.

Someone I know has offered to sell me this watch. I would hate to pass on a great find but would also hate being ripped off. Is it even real? I haven't seen the watch yet (these photos were emailed) but could arrange to see it this week. The seller is local but I have been limiting my trips outside due to local restrictions.

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I believe your instincts are correctly calibrated.

Welcome, do some hanging around and learning for a while and I like your dog 😀

Nothing else is Omega.

I think you mean the dog in the avatar? I see two dogs! 😉 One with three hands, and one with four feet.

It’s like a vintage Vostok omega combination what could go wrong
