    Hello everyone,

    Let me start by saying that I love this forum, and I appreciate all the work, effort and time some of the members put for the benefit of thousands of strangers.

    On an auction site I came across this Omega Seamaster, and honestly I can't tell if it's original or not. It looks damaged even if they claim it's perfectly functioning, but for the price it's selling at right now it would still be worth it if original.

    I've attached the photos that are available to me.

    Thank you to everyone who will take the time to share their opinion on the authenticity of this timepiece.

    Place for this one is the "Worst Redials" thread

    Look how bad "Omega" is printed

    It’s not a redial, it’s even worse look at the back....

    Common fake watch.

    For the fact you had to ask us if it was real. Your banned from buying a watch for a month whilst you research ;)

    And make sure you run it by us when your ready.

    OK, so I'm gradually learning here - I could already spot that one the proverbial mile away.
    Thanks to all! (But I still have many hours to spend reading more....)

    Aukro (cz), no english option but google translate does an acceptable job.

    Have done. Many more here to read. Getting more from threads about the process folks here go through. And many more hours of reading to go on the Constellation Collectors blog.
    So far I've been remiss in introducing myself in the Intro thread, but I'm still deciding what to say & that is taking away from my reading time :).
    Soon, I promise.

    It's the hallmark of the cheap fakes from the 1950s/60s/70s.
