I saw that one too. Its still around !
How did you tell it's fake..the back case ?
Just seeing the face looks real. ( I'm still learning )
if not what are the telltale signs ?

 

How can you tell it's fake on this one ?

 

Do a google image search on "Omega 166.024" for comparison. You will notice a few things about the fake one; The date opening has no white lining around it, the 6 and the 9 are closed, instead of open. All the hour markers have small "stubs" at the end of each marker. In addition to this, the bezel looks off, but more experienced bezel experts would have to chime in to explain. There are also no pin holes on the 12 and 6 marker, however the jury is apparently still out as to wether this is a sure telltale sign or not.

 

thank you so much for the info !
