Apologies if I have posted in the incorrect place, newbie alert!
I would really appreciate your opinions on whether this watch is genuine. My partner purchased it on ebay as I said I would buy him one for an anniversary present (wanted one for ages)! We're no experts but here goes, while the movement inside appears genuine, the weight is good, and other tell tale signs I've searched on Internet seem ok, my alarm bells started ringing on a few bits..... 1. The blue bezel surround came off - can it come loose on a genuine one or are these pretty well fitted by Omega?
2. The red part of the second hand looks too short when I compare it to other pictures of the watch.
3. I Can't see any serial number on the lug - is this where it should be?
4. There are 6 holes on the back for removing the back ase, all other pictures I've seen of this model only have 5
I guess the main watch could be genuine but have fake bezel, second hand, back etc but I'm not sure how/why it would end up with all these random fake parts on a genuine watch. The seller sells lots of watches, has over 1000 feedback and no negatives saying fake etc. It was advertised as recently serviced and polished but with no box, papers etc. so obviously it was slightly cheaper than others but still expensive! We can raise a case with ebay in next 3 days to return it for refund so would really appreciate your thoughts. My partner believes it's real and wants to keep it, I'm the one questioning it as we can't agree!
Thank you, Clare
