Hey guys hope all is well. My wife is planning to purchase an Omega for me and she send me these photos. My question is, is this an authentic Omega Seamaster? Please be advised that the seller did mention that the band is from a company called Hadley Roma. I appreciate all replies in advance.
Looks genuine, but day disk or date disk replaced with the wrong color. Also and due to images. Can't tell if bezel and lug beside it damaged. Quality of images prevent one from actually seeing if black marks are marks or what? DON
It's genuine. But in poor condition with cracked crystal, gouges on case and caseback, as DON noted, date disk looks wrong and no movement pictures. I would not recommend it.
At USD$350 I don't think so. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Omega-Wa...da147f3&pid=100574&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=222312197180Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
For the price mentioned, you're buying a watch that has: * No known service history, * Unknown movement condition * Case and caseback damage * Glass damage * Incorrect day/date, as mentioned by @DON and @JimInOz One thing you need to factor in is your servicing cost. If your wife buys this watch, and you take it to a watchmaker for a service, be in for a shock: you're going to be charged at least the same price of the watch, if not more, in parts, case reconditioning, and stripdown/clean/oil/reassembly/testing. I know that your wife has good intentions (which is lovely!) however she will need to take these factors into consideration, as well as what your preference for a watch is. P.S Hadley Roma is a good manufacturer of watch bands; however, that shouldn't sway your opinion on getting the watch (apart from knowing the band will last longer than cheaply made ones.)
