The case back and buckle look real to me. Australia eBay is known for allowing replicas to stay on the site.

Regardless, that is one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen.

I've never seen an Omega like this. It's horrible.

Did Omega ever make anything that looked like this or is it one of the worst reps made?

Hmm ... there's another one

Those are genuine omega quartz pieces. They date from around the 70-80's. Not very desirable pieces for collectors anyway.

Omega is known to have produced some terrible watches in the 70s and 80s. Nearly killed the brand!

Urrrghh......those two should have killed the brand!

Thank God they weathered it and raised their game. The PO's are some of the nicest watches out there and the best repped to boot.

I don't want to sound like a mad man to all you guys, but... I actually quite like them!

Hell, from all the hating in here, I was expecting diamante with a pink dial or something!
As TB said, a bit pricey, but certainly not the worst watch I've ever seen. That honour goes to some pretty dubious Hublots...
