    I'm sorry to tell you it's an old fake from the 1950s/1960s.

    Huh? I asked how you are determining this is a fake? Omega has seen my photos and already stated it wasn't. They have sent my photos to Switzerland for more info.

    I don't feel comfortable opening the back for sure. Here is the back.

    I would need to see this to believe it.

    These are known fake Omega, and also fake gold, cases. Omega cases are not hallmarked on the outside like yours, they have the majority on the inside of the case back. Unfortunately your case is not made of 18kt gold, probably plate or goldfill.

    Because I've seen thousands of genuine Omega Seamasters.

    And because I've seen thousands of fakes.

    I did speak with Omega they have stated this is authentic. My question was more around the year.

    I find it odd everything is a fake when it isn't the norm watch that you see. This watch was passed from generations and does have hasilite crystal bezel. It also has original Omega leather band.

    You also state that Omega have seen your pictures and have told you it is genuine? I find this very hard to believe!

    You also say that Omega have sent your pictures to Switzerland for more information? I find this even harder to believe as that is not something they would normally do. Where and how have you communicated with Omega exactly?

    Are you making this up? As please believe us here, your watch is a fake. OK, I can't comment on the movement as I haven't seen a picture of it but the rest is not genuine in the slightest and I can hardly imagine there is a genuine Omega watch movement inside that case.

    Have you spoken to Swatch? They 100% do send photos to Switzerland. I am waiting for my photos to come back with more info.

    Please call swatch and come back here and confirm I have as right.

    Which "Omega" are you referring to?

    Petros Protopapas? Or a shop assistant in an Omega store?

    100% fake. There is not a shadow of a doubt in that matter.

    I just called Swatch and they told me to tell you it's a fake. They'll let you know in due course.
