I disagree.
In Response To: It is a real check link ()

Sorry Guys,
I think it is a frankenwatch.

Whilst the Info that Georges listed is correct, it doesn't go "far enough".

here it is again.

What Georges failed to notice / write is that this case is NOT an omega case. I believe the case back IS correct however ( the case back has the number 176.005 stamped on it )

THIS is what a 176.005 case should look like ( pic courtesy of Chuck Maddox )

So. Whilst I believe most of the components are correct, the case is NOT.

PLEASE NOTE. This watch DID come from Omega in various different dial colours. The gold dial is a possibility.

All the Best

Steve
