    I got this watch off of Etsy and I'm not sure if it is a fake or not. I'm not a collector and like the watch for the style, I would just like to know more about it. Can anyone help me out here? It is a manual winding watch that keeps really good time and brass dials.

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/215646...age=3&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

    I'm worried about it being a fake for the following reasons:

    The Font on the 'OMEGA'
    It looks like a small blotch on the second hand dial between the 25 and 30 second mark
    The 6 is not open it is closed
    I can't seem to find any other omega watch that looks remotely like this
    The Dial (face) is a lighter brown that what shows up in those pictures
    I don't see Swiss Made anywhere

    If further pictures are needed let me know. Thanks for the help!

    It is an old rusted pocket watch stuck in a cheap new case. Known as cheap Ukrainian junk. The dial is newly made and not Omega. There is not much more that can be said, it is not worth much at all.
