...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

 

It's a genuine Omega.

Just the movement that is.

Nothing else is Omega.

 

Yup, go with the gut here

 

Yep your gut feeling is right, run!

 

Less pics of that cobbled make-a-watch and more the dog

 

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

 

First "Like" for you for your avatar!

 

Thank you everybody! I am running away as we speak!
