Legit. Omega quartz connie, I've got one somewhere.
Thanks for your reply 馃榾

I doubted it because of the quality of the logo. It's just printed on watch dial.

What do you guys think of this one? A few things seem off to me. Pics arent the best so its harder for me to say for sure.

What's this?


Twin tube overhead fluorescent light reflection?
You can see it continue on the bezel.

looks like shadow. Too me the back is bad and also the date window. A close look at the wave pattern compared to a real one shows some differences as well.

Fake. For your own reference, you can observe the difference in the balance wheel in a genuine movement.

Thank you for the reply Scarecrow Boat. Oh wow, I would've never looked that closely! I see the screw/pin is not in the correct position along with some other things. I'll let them know and thank you again for the observation.

Also has a wonky Omega logo on the dial. The date wheel is sunken and left sided which tells me it's a VS Factory fake from China.

Thank you for your reply. I was not aware of VS Factory fakes so I went ahead and searched it up and you're 100% correct, it's the same exact watch. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I know right? To me it looks good but the people here are amazing at scoping out discrepancies. Have to do more research on my side as well!

some time ago I was thinking: as technology and human resources move forwards and replica makers evolve along the watch industry fakes will eventually be very difficult to spot out there. I always forward images to more knowledgeable and experienced people and I advice strongly to do so and not take decisions based on gut feelings as this might result in regretable mistakes

It's actually an OM factory. The VSF has better movement plates and similar looking regulator.

High end replicas are very good now. To the point with Tag Heuer replicas they have a genuine Sellita movement in them.
Most omega reps don't have a coaxial clone. It's easy enough to spot the balance wheel being in the wrong place on the replicas too.

VSF have been the best Omega rep maker for the past few years and unless you have a keen eye can easily fall for a fake.

Rolex replicas are even closer now and have 97% accuracy to the genuine article. Especially the new Daytonas that have been released recently.

do you know if they are reproducing the blue balance spring in the daytonas as well?
