·I bought this Omega in Prague during my holidays. It works but it needs servicing as it is losing time when it has less power. How do I know if this is a fake or real Omega?

·How do you know? You need to become very familiar with Omega pocket watches to tell if it's fake or not.
However, I can tell you that it is a real Omega.
this was not a planned purchase and I saw the watch as I was on my way to the train station to leave Prague. I though it looked really nice and the price was very good if real. I took a chance without any real time to research. My plan was to take it to Omega to chack and service the watch (not sure they will for this watch).
The watch is working but after about 24 hours it is losing a few minutes.
Do you have a recommendation if I should service it with Omega or maybe better with a reputable watch repair? I'm in London

··Melbourne AustraliaDo you know information about what year (period) is this watch from?
As noted by @DaveK, and competent watchmaker can service this watch and it will cost must less than an Omega restoration.
