    Is there a reason you think it’s fake? Or just want to have confidence that it’s not?

    I’m new to Omega’s so it’s confidence that it’s real and not a fake. I can’t really spot anything myself, but I don’t have much experience.

    Gotcha. Sometimes people post on here thinking something is fake when it isn’t. So, I wanted to see if there was anything that led you to believe it was and help address that.

    No, it looks good to me.

    Just picked up an mk40 (3520.53) with the tritium lume. The patina from the tritium lume and the hour/5min markers that are all the same length with thicker 5 min markers seems right but the bezel looks better than almost any mk40’s I’ve seen for sale. Possibly replaced?

    I’m new to omegas but does anyone see any red flags. I’m officially a guinea pig for eBays new authenticity guaranty service so my watch is currently being inspected. There was a lot of doubt from this site around this process. Curious to get more than 1 opinion.

    This is a first time when I saw such fake SMPc, so sharing this link for a general awarness.
    Got scammed on Facebook group

    Notice a different shape of the crown guards. Blue watch is my genuine SMPc.

    This nightmareish thing popped up in an ebay email alert earlier for a Buy It Now £200 + £5 postage. Even I know that this one is all over the place. It was listed as a 'broken omega watch'. Somebody snapped it up pretty quickly as it is now showing as sold. The caseback says Broad Arrow on it but the hands are baton hands. The bracelet clasp says Seamaster Professional on a Speedy. The numbers on the bezel change orientation half way round and the lume blob to the left of the 3 at the top of the dial is off centre. Seller also mentions that the battery may just need changing! Nasty...

    There are Mickey Mouse watches, and there are Mickey Mouse watches. I think this falls into the latter category.

    I love how every fake was a “gift” or it was passed down to them. Just own up to it lol

    Hi,
    Looking for a dress watch and saw this.
    The pics aren't great but can anyone give me some confirmation of authenticity?
    Many thanks.

    Hello,

    this is claimed to be 145.0022 with dial from bc345.0802 with haselit crystal, I was offered to buy.
    Does it raise any red flag to you?

    Coworker offered to sell me his omega seamaster 007. Some things are off to me so I want a second opinion. I know the the strap is incorrect, but the back case cover also looks incorrect to me. I'm new to watches so looking for advice!

    No red flags, but I can't tell you if the dial and handset are genuine

    100% fake trash. Bottom of the bin stuff. Steal his lunch from the fridge during your break as revenge.
