Based on that photo it's genuine.
However the hands are incorrect (Hour/Minute) and I suspect a redial due to T SWISS MADE T being incorrectly aligned and other print on the dial.

Hi i came across this omega Seamaster with black dial, nicely patina too. Is this dial legit? I know black is a pretty rare colour for these

Hello, first post. Kinda a newbie, would be first Omega. (Graduating from Tag)

came across a Seamaster 300m on eBay that caught my eye.

seller happens to be not too far from me, so looking at doing transaction outside of eBay.

Listing says it includes all 3 cards, box, and I matched the serial number on Omegas website (but know that’s not a guarantee).

uploading some photos and thought I’d see if anything stands out.

Thanks!

Looks good to me.

I only have doubt on the decoration in the metallic part, it’s a little different from the pictures online, but maybe is matter of perspective.

Hi! I'm thinking of purchasing an Aqua Terra ref. 22010412103001 from an online seller.

I've did some due diligence and the seller looks legitimate. They have sold other watches and luxury cars, and items related to expensive hobbies (golf, diving). I've also asked for pictures of the warranty and master chronometer cards, with which I was able to verify the following:

1. The AD from which the watch was bought (in 2019, East Asian AD) can be searched on the Omega website, and
2. The details on the master chronometer card yields a result when verifying the certification.

The seller also very responsive and has sent pictures on the caseback and crown:

Most things point towards a legitimate purchase, but I'd like to have a second opinion.

Thanks!

Same applies.

Looking at this… good?
If you want definitive answers, you will need to show clear photos of the movement with the balance visible (not obstructed by the rotor).

Hello! Quick one - real or fake? thanks!!!
Oh wow, that is ugly. Do not buy that watch. Please do plenty of research on this reference before you buy one, so you can know what to look for. Here is an example of what this watch should look like.

Any thoughts on this one? Fake? Real?
What is it about this watch you are unsure of? You got some help when you created a thread about it.

Thanks for your reply. It was 50 cents at the op shop. Worth a try. Cheers.

😵‍💫 50 cents? 🤦 When you find a real version of this watch, you can expect to pay around $2,800 (+/-)
