Well suspending my suspicions for a moment, if you were sold this as an Omega of any kind, you were the victim of a fraud, though perhaps a minor one, and should feel aggrieved. What is a shame is that if it wasn't covered in fake markings it would make for a nice cheap beater using a robust everyday AS Schild movement. As it is, it is fit for nothing more than the bin sadly. There is a fake thread on here which is worth a look, there are several on there very similar to yours, it was commonly seen back in the 60s.
You're right I dont like wearing fake. Not going in the bin though, just the other day I took it with me when looking at watches so as to remind me to not buy something as soon as I see it, bargain or not. Thank you, I'll have a look.

The dial doesn't have minor minute markers and has plated markers at 5. The Ω symbol is probably glued on and can be pulled off. Then you can wash the dial to remove the Omega and Seamaster, the only thing you'll mis out on is the subsecond cross hairs.
Then you'll have a no-name watch that you can wear.

Hi everyone,

I bought this Omega Seamaster at a fair recently, and I'm wondering if it's a fake or not. I know the crown and case back are both not original, but I was hoping the rest was. I'd appreciate if anyone could lend me some knowledge as I haven't got a clue.

I will add more pictures later if required.

Thanks,
Ben
It's a fake watch.
