I had one of these a couple of years ago, don't think there was a makers mark on it anywhere, he's saying it's not a retro but I assumed it was, it's a cheap copy of the Omega, with a Fossil type display, they also did one with a blue screen, but it still had a red display so was pretty useless as red doesn't show up too well behind blue, I'd guess his green one is the same.

It looks an awfully lot like a remake to me. No watch makers in the '70's that i'm aware of were retarded enough to make the buttons stick out that far.

ELY_M, do you have any information on the origin of the watch? The ebay seller claimed it was 'definely not a retro copy' and that it was from the late '70's-early '80's. It looks like a retro copy to me, and not from the time period claimed in the auction. Can you clarify? Thanks.

The font and name certainly don't ring 70's....

I think the name - Xtreme - pretty wll tells the age. The age was not even in use during the '70's.
