    I saw this watch in a post of Facebook for sell, my first thought was that the watch is obviously fake, noticing the different colors between the hour markers and hands

    2 you can see someone tried to engrave similar Omega logo and 18k gold water mark, and failed cause the gold mark is crooked, and the engraved inscription is missing some of the letters.

    3 I didnt find this reference.

    Is it possible that I'm wrong? Is it normal for omegas to come all f*** like this?
    PS, still a newbie trying to learn.

    You're correct, it's a fake.

    One of the give aways for a fake.

    This one dates most likely to the 1960's btw.

    Yup, it is certainly fake. The caseback inscription will always be on the inside and be of a much better quality. That "Omega" logo is terrible it looks more like a horseshoe than an "omega," and the font and printing on the dial in general is awful.

    All the above and why write T Swiss Made T on a dial without Tritium or any other luminous material?

    The gold plate wearing off in a few places proves it’s not solid gold as the hallmarks attempt to suggest.

    Always check the lugs on any watch claimed to be solid gold. In this case you can see it on the caseback.

    Looks like an inside caseback flipped and welded into the outside. Strange
