Does it come with matching cards and box? Does the serial number on the back of a lug match?
Why the comment about third party parts - does that allude to the watch having been worked on?
Is it a coincidence that the watch is shown atop a service pouch?
In what currency is the price 2.7k? Sterling? Dollars US? Yen?
Does this price seem low to you and, if so, what does your instinct tell you?
If you make the purchase will this be an international transaction which will attract Duty/VAT on import?
I am NOT familiar with this model of watch but I'm slightly uneasy about the HEV and I'm expecting there to be more dome to it. Say, is this maybe not a full sized watch?
Well, I wish I could at a single glance tell you to snap it up or to run and hide. I can't so I'm going to limit myself to due diligence questions like:
What is the serial number?
Serial number: 85779885
Article ref: 21230362003001
Version of movement: 2500D
Looks like it matches the reference...
The clasp is throwing me off though. I guess I’ll have to buy the seller.
Also can’t the serial number be faked? Or can it not?
It’s very rare, like vanishingly so that a fake watch has a serial that actually matches the model being faked. I can’t say I’ve ever seen it happen. What do you not like about the clasp? It looks fine to me, though mine was a 41mm so there will be differences. Al above has access to internal Omega info that the fakers generally don’t. I see nothing amiss but be aware that there are only 2 removable links fitted meaning it is sized very small. Are there more links included? If not budget maybe $50-150 to get it to fit if your wrist isn’t tiny.
You said only 2 removable links?
Review the third photograph you posted.

You are making this hard work. No one has found anything they think looks incorrect including the serial number. No we can’t say with 100% certainty it’s real based on a few photos but I think you can assume it’s legit with 99% confidence. If I wanted that watch and thought the price fair, given the responses above I’d be happy to buy it.
Possible to get the watch looked at by a boutique or a ad?
