    Do you think those Speedmasters look good? For the NTTD, like I said, some are better than others and I’m not goin to list every detail, but the biggest tell is the face- the color choices in the fake are way off (the black, faux/aged colors, and the red), and that’s not due to the lighting in the photo. The bracelet final link is also not identical.

    Very hard to tell with straps and Bracelets these days as they’re so good. TBH they charge such extortionate prices for genuine bracelets it’s no wonder fakes are abundant. This looks fake IMO as the Omega symbol is very faint and not struck well but the “M” is almost non existent and that’s not due to wear

    Did you pay top notch or get it cheap, at the end of the day, if the bracelet is good, well made and you didn’t pay “Omega” price then just wear it as it’s only you that knows abd it’s not as if it’s a Fake watch.

    It
    It came on the speedmaster, the watch is real, that I know for sure. At the end it's not that bad if it is a fake one, I have a Flatlink from Uncle Seiko on it right now.

    Great watch that oozes quality and iconic history. I’ve a 2019 Sapphire sandwich as I wanted to admire that movement. Quite accurate too even though not certified as a chronometer, but mine seems to be +/- 3 to 7 secs which I find pretty good. Enjoy

    Thank so much.
    It was a tough decision to choose between the sapphire and hesalite. So we can agree from the photo I put up that it is genuine?

    It’s so hard to tell these days regarding fake watches, was it a dealer purchase and do you have any papers, warranty card with it? If you’re concerned just contact Omega(Swatch), Southampton by email/phone and give them the serial number. I’ve done this previously and they’ve been very helpful. What year is this one as I see no Crown protection shoulders?
    The movement looks good, How much did you pay?

    The serial number relates to 2005 and here’s a 2005 model: A0B0A4C9-C26E-4F43-AAFC-A5FCE6C8E2C2.png

    Walk away from this offer, clearly the watch has a fake movement.

    Thanks. Might have been the angle. Here is a better shot. 16204997303765233320620330760027.jpg

    here is one that is (at least looks like) very vintage, can it be fake? sorry there is no other image on the auctioners page, anyway its not priced 1200 euros as the previous one I posted. Can anyone tell me if its real or fake? The crown doesnt seem to have the omega logo.

    That is why I was a little concerned. I went to a certified omega dealer. And the looked the watch over, open it up. Check all serial numbers and warranty card. And checked if the serial number was registered with omega and it was. I paid £3875. But yes perhaps a good idea to contact omega in Southampton
