Valiant Thor
·Hey all, recently received a Planet Ocean from a reputable eBay seller in the United States and it passed authentication. However, I noticed some flaws with the piece. I’ve owned a 2201.50 in the past and knew the caseback was inscribed with planet ocean on the under arch, seahorse in the middle with the omega logo and the laser engraved Omega globe. This particular watch ( ref 2901.50) has Planet Ocean inscribed twice on the caseback. Also, the crown appear misaligned on the Omega logo. I’m not sure if the age of the watch and tarnish is messing with my eyes but the crown logo looks funny to me. The movement, dial, hands, and bezel all look right. I’m not sure if the 2901.50 was a newer version than the 2901.50 and Omega changed it all later on. My understanding was both references were the same but one had a bracelet and one did not. The seller is denying it’s counterfeit and offered a refund but I’m curious if im overreacting or if there’s something to this. Thanks in advance. Serial number on the watch is 81062147. I’m including photos taken at various angles. I’m wondering mainly 1. Was this caseback design ever used even for a short time 2. Does the tarnish around the crown logo create an optical illusion or does the logo deform over time. - thanks, Ryan.
