it just has the word omega on the dial and a plain case back is this a fake.

That is exactly what a genuine Omega manual wind would have. Unfortunately, many fakes can be described the same way.

So you either have a genuine piece or a fake.

My advice is worth what you paid for it and is only as good as the information provided.

From the information you have given, the watch may very well be correct but as others have said, we cannot advise you without pictures. Also the watch may be genuine but have serious problems which, again, we cannot tell you about without pictures.
