·I suppose it depends how much that bezel weighs. Gold is at a high right now.
Is this watch real or fake thread - aka Fake Busters!!

·That's fantastic. I'm delighted! Thanks. Most of the reduced ones seem to have numbers on the case so that was the bit that had me worried. Did they put the numbers on at different years?

·It looks pretty thin though. I wouldn’t take the chance.

·I wouldn't either. Just noting that as it seemed overlooked.

·Oh yeah 100% it’s definitely not the first thing that pops into my head so I overlooked it too. After you mentioned that the first thing I thought was “I bet every person that has over polished this has saved that gold”

·Hi all. I’m one of those people who has been bought a watch by someone else. It’s the 36.4 mm seamaster everything looks good to me but I can hear it tick when I hold it close to my ear. Has my mother in law been ripped off? I hope not as she’ll be mortified.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

First you need to give us a picture so we have an idea what watch it is, second why wouldn't a watch tick?

·This is the watch and as for ticking I read that a seamaster shouldn’t tick. I’m very new to a watch like this and what I read about the ticking got me worried

·Every automatic, manual, and quartz watch ticks. I find them relaxing to hear. Ticking is not a red flag. A lack of ticking would be.

·Jiminoz,thanks for that, I suppose Omega get bombarded with requests to check authenticity which is why they don’t. Why would people say that if an Omega watch ticks then it’s a fake? Do they mean loud ticking, I can only hear mine close to my ear. As I said before I’m new to the world of Omega watches and like to know as much as I can

I realise that my reply was somewhat brief, but there are ways for Omega to confirm the validity of your watch, other than going to a shop (AD, Boteek etc. where they generally know nothing.
One is to request an Extract of the Archives from the Omega website (beware, it cost money).
The other is to give your serial number to a friendly watchmaker with access to Omega extranet who can tell you what that serial number matches to.

·Jiminoz thanks for the advice. I’d looked at the Omega site but don’t want to spend to confirm authenticity but I do have a good relationship with my local authorised Omega dealer as I deliver to them regularly so I shall talk sweetly to them and ask them if they can check for me. Absolutely everything else about the watch checks out it was reading that they shouldn’t tick which caused the concern. Thanks for taking the time to reply

·Hello All,
I am new here and new to the luxury watch world. I recently bought my first Omega Seamaster diver 300 from a reputable dealer on chrono24. Everything with the watch seems to check out so far including the matching serial numbers, being able to check METAS cert on the Omega website, and the serial number matching the watch in the Omega database. I did notice on the international warranty card under the signed date there is no code for I believe to be a country code. Is this normal? The watch comes from Singapore and the stamped AD is a legit Omega retailer. Does this warranty card look legit?
