Looks fine to me. But if you want to be more confident, a clearer picture of the back (movement) might help. Don’t see any red flags.

thank you! I'll contact him for a picture of the back and will get back to you, by the way the watch only comes with the box and no paper

That’s not necessarily a red flag, but it is a little odd considering that this is a newer model that could possibly still be under warranty. Maybe the seller purchased it from a gray market dealer that didn’t provide the manufacturer warranty?

If it’s a really really good price, that lack of a card could be acceptable, but otherwise I’d probably find another watch.

If you’re getting more movement pics, be sure you get several that show the entire movement (that is, with the rotor in different positions so that it’s not obstructing anything). The more we can see, the better.

here are some photos he just sent me, and yeah I agree that he might not be the first owner, he's pricing at 4200 shipped CONUS, as I did some research it seems a fair price yes?

Your edit helps. 😀

I see nothing here that screams fake to me.

The price is quite good—and it reflects the lack of a warranty card.

That said, depending on what country you’re in (as you probably don’t want to deal with import duties and international shipping) you could probably find a complete set domestically for a thousand more and then negotiate the price down closer to this one. That’s probably what I’d do. Find one that’s still under warranty. Even if you end up having to pay a couple hundred more—an active warranty is worth it.

Nice watch!

Edit: you do want to confirm—with any seller—that all bracelet links are included. Replacement links, should you need them, are not cheap.

Thanks for add.
Looking to buy this used from an independent dealer.
Anyone know how I can check this serial number?
Reference: 232.30.46.21.01.003
Ser# 87645462
Or better yet, do you think it's legit or counterfeit?

I'm no expert on this particular model, but I don't see anything suspicious based on the photos or video.

I mean, I’m happy to stand corrected in the face of evidence if it prevents someone from buying a fake watch. I’m seeing a legit Omega balance and a 25200 beat rate—and no obvious signs of fakery. What am I missing, new guy who says fake?

Thank you for that. I just looked at his profile. You're right. He's as new as me.

Is there any evidence of fake movement with 25200 so far?

I've gone through many replica forums ant there seem to be only Asian 2824 with 28800 on the market, right?
