    Is there an omega logo engraved into the periphery of the caseback? I understand that is meant to be one of the safeguards against replicas...

    Front seems ok, but don't like the caseback. A movement's photo would be definitive.

    I also don't like the back of the watch..very bad picture...and the fact that the seller place the card under the watch but it doesn't show the number it's a very big question mark..so because it seems that the seller have the cards ask for picture with the serial number to match the serial number on the case..

    Hi and welcome to OF.

    As others wrote, please ask for a better photo of the back.

    Serial number: 86692919
    Article ref: 21230412003001
    Version of movement: 2500D

    Other than being completely filthy, I don't see anything obviously wrong here...but a better photo of the case back would show you more dirt I suppose...

    Assuming it's kosher, and it's got the box and papers, I don't think you'd get one for much less. Is it through eBay or some other channel where you'd have buyer protection?

    I think it's common practice to hide your serial number in pics shared online. The pictogram card definitely looks exactly like mine.

    I don't like the caseback either. You shouldn't buy a watch for that price without seeing a picture of the movement, unless you know the seller or he/she has lots of sound references.

    I’ll take it if you don’t. Looks legit, and that’s a great price for box and papers. Go for it and enjoy it.

    *tell your friend to get a better phone. lol

    On a two year old watch? ::confused2::

    Better leave it alone, IMO.

    Everything looks good as far as I can see, but I don't have any experience with really high-end fakes. Is the ceramic bezel and dial faked nowadays?
