This is too good to be true, I pay $60 for the buckles alone and I consider them a catch, and this listing mass sell them at $60 with the strap

Is it an indication that the buckles are now faked?

In this particular case you can easily spot the "sun" logo as being different vs an original one

(i did get a refund, just a waste of time!)

That thread doesn't analyse the fakes, which, as an example, https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-...ers-what-to-look-for-and-what-to-avoid.38032/ this thread does in detail

Up to this point I thought this specific model was not faked, anyway, I guess I was lucky up until now, and it's time to stop being naive


I would have to disagree, nearly every page has someone asking about fakes and people giving advise based on traits.

For example:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/about-omega-buckles.37347/page-29#post-1604829

It's not 33 pages about one style, but many of the different fake, and real, buckles you will find.
