I have just bought an second hand Omega Seamaster online. No box or papers.
It was *cheap* so I'm not holding much hope (I can return it if there is an issue).

I just wanted to call on the communal expertise on looking at the photos that the seller provided on your thoughts on if it may be genuine.

These are the only photos I'm afraid (until I get the watch). I will take it for verification once received.

Please let me know your thoughts and thank you.

Google "omega 8800" to see how the real movement looks like.

I hope you can get your money back.

Edit: Don't bother with taking it to an Omega outlet, you'd be wasting their time.

Lesson learned: This would have been a much happier outcome if you had asked us for our opinion about the watch before you purchased it. I hope that you are able to return it for a refund. How "cheap" was cheap?

Closing thread as this is definitely a bad fake.
