My uncle bought this fake omega while in Turkey, it has since been loosing five minutes a day, three indexes have fallen off from the dial. I personally hate it lol but I'm also the guy who fixes stuff ๐ฌ๐ฌ
So without context, who would be convinced of its authenticity?
I used to be into watches, viewed and perused fakes and live in China where you can source them from. Basically, I think everyone who really knows watches knows that replicas exist that you really canโt distinguish from real ones unless you really know what youโre looking for and have it in your hand. Yours might suffer from general build quality handiness though and might not be first class replica. Like the other commenter said, the scratches give it away, for example. Even good replicas can include real sapphire glass, I think.
Apart from that , 95% of folks would probably think itโs real, just due to not thinking about it.
