·Yeah the proportion, fonts and location of the bezel pip were what I was questioning. It’s very subtle, but may be something worth looking into
Is this watch real or fake thread - aka Fake Busters!!

·Hello everyone!
what about this one? Is it real or fake? The strap is obviously not original. There is a scratch in the glass. But what about dial, case etc? What do you think? Is the back of the case odd? And what is your guess on the time of manufacturing? THANKS!!

·Hands & crown I don't think are original. Dial is a re-dial. Seen worse cases.

·Would be interested on an opinion on this. I think it's a fake, but the auction house obviously seem to think not. (Not buying, just interested!)

·Two listings on eBay for Sedna gold & stainless Globemasters. Both with serial numbers starting with 87 (2009) for a watch that was introduced in 2015. Am I missing anything? Looks like two fakes.

·All jokes aside, Rarity or not... You don't really think it's a fake do you? Not that I bought the watch.

It’s listed as a Cal. 613 Ref. 136.041. Cal 136.0041 checks out on omega vintage database with a Cal 613. But that’s as far as my knowledge goes. Your help would be appreciated.

·Evening all,
I recently had an usual find while metal detecting. It appears to be a seamaster 300 and I would be grateful if anyone could point out the likelihood of it being genuine.
Was found it a field that hadn't been ploughed for four years and think that from the pitting on the bezel insert I think it might have been buried for longer. It started working immediately after coming up and has kept perfect time over the last few days. The bracelet is damaged and its missing its clasp unfortunately. The bezel is also jammed in its current position.
The serial number on the rear reads 80639227.
Many thanks.

·@SteveMc, looks like a genuine 2254.50.00 (=reference number) which was produced between 2000-2009, given a low serial number I bet on the very early production.
New clasp and bezel kit (you can't buy insert only) won't be cheap but 2254 is one of the two most iconic Omega SMP references of that era. Nice find and good luck in the restoration.

·It's 100% a fake. There are so many obvious issues with it. For posterity, I have added images of the watch you are referencing based on who you replied to. Etsy isn't known to be a reliable place to purchase watches and this listing made me laugh. If it were real, "Omega" and/or "Planet Ocean" would be in the listing title not "Men's Waterproof mechanical wrist watch." Note "mechanical." The entirety of the face of the watch is horrendous and is one giant flag. The dial says "chromometer." Awful case. The caseback has another tell as this is limited edition #1 of 5007. Please also note the terribly stamped "speedmaster" clasp on the also fake bracelet. This whole thing is a mess.

·Hello new members...
Welcome to the OmegaForums.net!!
I have specifically created this thread just for the newbies who come on here after they have been given a watch buy their uncle's uncle twice removed OR they have bought what you think is a legit Omega off good old flee bay!
The idea is you post your watch here and it is discussed by our panel of experts, who I might add, may say few choice words like 🤬 and 🤬 or maybe 🤬.
The will endeavour to be as blunt as possible, but getting you the answer you are looking for.
The main idea is this..
It will remove the countless new threads asking 'Is my watch fake?' or 'I was left this by my dad's dad's dad from 1860'
Any new threads will be merged in to this one as of now.
Thanks very much.
The OF Management & Moderation Department.
Fire away!!
Always used to be Rolex copied but the Chinese factories are now specialising on most brands!!!
You really need to be alert.
