    I like how they put a smily face on the moon and gave it sun rays

    Well that smells fishy but I don't know. It seems too good to be true. What most puzzles me is he has a friend who's a watchmaker but who wouldn't have helped him determine the watch problem and value.
    You have to analyse the guy on the phone. I had a to good to be true deal once and it appeared that in fact the guy was just not really clever and very lazy.
    Can you pay by paypal ? Would you see the watch before buying ?

    Yes. Picture not good enough to tell anything, but something is definitely off.

    Have you checked the pictures/description/card details against the reference on Omega Watches website?

    What are your thoughts?

    100% fake with incorrect fonts... warranty card style isn't even from the correct generation

    Maybe we should request photos, not links, before answering.

    Also, if real, do you think it’s worth $500 and will it polish up from its current state?

    Thanks in advance for your time and opinion. D1CA03BB-6206-49EB-A824-21D944C3E0A9.png B8826A54-14E7-4FD7-8B37-1AB75BBB2220.png 6ADA1910-5F1C-4627-80C6-F1AE983E44E8.png

    Bought online, but not from an AD. You guys see any concerns (I blacked out the serial, not sure if you’re supposed to put it out there). Thanks in advance. 560BD513-FC46-4275-A677-619F38D8414E.jpeg A5517430-27F6-43A4-8DA0-F0E7C673447B.jpeg C920B15F-018A-47CC-A99F-C0D5A011DCF2.jpeg 1E5247DE-5590-4153-9D8B-356D6E7EC79F.jpeg FED218A6-8EAE-4F9C-ACD3-89C1D03C55C9.jpeg 929C05A1-9B30-4D78-8753-324231093AB9.jpeg

    New ceramic planet ocean. Looks good to me and serial number on movement matches the cards. Any concerns?

    Thanks

    Your card matches the watch serial number. Is there anything in particular that is worrying you?

    No. Just want to be sure. eBay purchase.

    You are good. You can always take it to an Omega watchmaker to open the case (I always do with all second hand purchases) that would give you the definitive answer you are looking for.

    Not really, I just wasn’t sure if I missed anything. Thanks!
