    Hi there,

    This Omega De Ville Prestige has popped up for in a local auction. There is only one photo which I have added twice. It was photographed on its side but it is tough to view the face at 90 degrees so I have rotated the image as well.

    They have supplied the serial number which places it at around 2006. My hideously untrained eye makes it look like a good match for the one in the link but I may be missing something horribly obvious. Any thoughts?

    I think it is a bad photo as the matched link shows the hands and markers to actually be polished silver not black.

    The watch above seems to be a 4500.31.00 on a bracelet like the one here:
    https://www.crownandcaliber.com/products/omega-de-ville-prestige-4500-31-00-10-10-ome-q5um9k

    Guide price is £250 - £500

    Auction comes up in a few days and it would be great to know if it is worth a bid or not.

    Flagged as a fake watch? Supplied with copied docs and a real doc? Crazy that the auction focuses on the surrounding bits in more detail than the watch?

    Purchased a 43.5m Planet Ocean GMT with no papers or box (did come with a Tourneau box, which is where they said they got it from). I spent a lot of time looking at real v. fake videos and posts, but figured I would ask the experts! Serials match. DSC_0024 (4).JPG DSC_0007 (5).JPG DSC_0011 (4).JPG DSC_0007 (4).JPG

    Hello, I'm interested in buying speedmaster watch. I came across this SM reduced sub 1K price, and I'm wondering whether it's authentic.

    Kind regards,

    Looks real enough to me. What makes you call it out as fake?

    Hello everyone,

    Looking to purchase my first Omega from a colleague. Just wanted a second opinion on the authenticity of the watch. Never been used, comes with full box, warranty cards and serial numbers match. Thanks for all your input.

    Can I get an opinion on this one. Seems like the bezel insert is a little off (too counterclockwise) in comparison to the bezel and dial? Not sure fake vs shoddy replacement? Opinions other than that?

    I came across this watch at an online auction in the USA. The face looks like Seamaster Professional limited edition "James Bond" while the case back is clearly off.

    Hey all, hope you are well.
    I’ve been doing some research and this seems to check out but I am no expert...
    Real or fake?
    thanks,
    Matt

    Genuine but in horrible condition including a refinished dial.

    If you haven't purchased it, don't, if you have try to return it.

    Morning chaps, wondering if anyone will be able to verify the attached images. Its a Schumacher legend 2507.51. Its not a reference i know a great deal about and in addition, the caseback is looking worse for wear. So, usual question, real or fake (buyer provided photos aren't great)
