But the lollipop seconds hand!![]()
Hi guys. I'm brand new here. I was actually looking at one of these on eBay earlier. What exactly is the issue with them please?
Very helpful thanks
This watch and those like it are what we call fantasy redials. They are essentially cobbled together watches with refinished dials that have certain Omega like design elements, but are in no way genuine Omega. Assuming that you want to purchase an authentic original vintage Omega watch, run away from watches like these and keep your wallet tightly closed until you learn enough here to know what to purchase. Stick around.

Excellent. Thank you so much, I was beginning to think intelligence had deserted this thread. Nice to finally get a sensible, mature and knowledgeable answer instead of jibes and snarky childish nonsense. Very much appreciated
Genuine vintage Omega watches with black dials are fairly uncommon and desirable. Doubly so with crosshairs.
This seller basically takes all the desirable elements of a range of vintage Omega dials, cobbles them together in one very poor quality repainted dial and hopes an uninformed person will pay a premium for it. Furthermore, the watches themselves are often very tired, with poor cases and worn out movements. I’d wager he buys knackered old, water damaged watches gets them working, repaints the dials and SEL’s for a healthy profit.
They’re junk.
You’ll learn a lot if you just stick around and read the threads and posts that appear here daily. Start with this: https://omegaforums.net/threads/learn-how-to-fish.52603/

Don't take it to heart @Flying Carrot
Your first post is the type of thing members (who know what they are looking at ) might post if they were trying to be funny.
(but members also forget that you don't know what you don't know....)
As @gbesq says, stick around and find out what you like in Omega watches - and then you can learn what is right and wrong at a glance in Omega dials.
Most importantly, share photos and the description of any prospective purchase here on OF for comment by more experienced members BEFORE you commit to a purchase. Note: this does NOT mean that we will do all the research and work for you, but we will help you to learn how to do it for yourself.

Exactly. You took the words right out of my mouth - 'you don't know what you don't know' You also only know it because at some point someone either taught you it or you found out yourself by asking questions!
This is the one that popped up on my eBay while I was looking at Breitlings. My son liked the look of it, needless to say he won't be having it thanks to you guys and your sound advice.
