The goal may have been to see how many different references can be crammed into this Frankenwatch…

The seller is known for producing many of these "restored" Omegas.

It may be a complete franken, but if this watch was in Omega's back catalogue (or even a modern reinterpretation) it would be highly sought after.

They used to at least try to make them look real.

I’m not sure whether these dials are imported or made here in the UK but this seller has been peddling this crap for at least a year. Unfortunately some seem to sell for well over a grand

If the person who created this monstrosity did away with all the branding and writing, made it sterile, it might be able to redeem itself, if it was less busy with all the glaring sensational detail and a bit more understated i might even go for one myself as a daily wearer to drop and sit on, and a way to keep vintage Omega movements in use as they often out-live their dials and cases, you could almost call it respectable, but the fraud involved in trying to pass it off as a genuine Omega spoils the whole concept, what a waste of a movement - i feel sorry for it having to live out it's days like this, like a retired champion race horse being sold off and ending up with someone's spoilt brat on it who's never ridden and whips the hell out of it trying to get it to canter, don't hate the watch, hate the maker of it
