As I said before, a working chrono + Correct Subdial Spacing... all info points to real.

Now I have no idea of service dials, service hands, service bezel inserts, etc etc.

As long as this isn't some "RARE" combination, and it's just a standard speedy, I see nothing that would make me hesitate.

Seen this aqua terra on auction and it caught my eye. However, I suspect it is likely a fake. What do you all think? Help appreciated please.

First time posting in the Modern Omega forum... feel like I’ve walked into that fancy pub with drinks I can’t afford 😗

36mm quartz.
Referenced under the following numbers.
2518.50
2517.50

Google finds a lot of similar/identical watches.

Really helpful and explains a lot !! I'm less familiar with the newer Omegas so the reference is useful.

First ever Omega, purchased from Chrono24. Seller (Japanese) was highly rated.
Just for my own peace of mind, I'm hoping someone can confirm this is all legit.

Came with the proper box, warranty and pictograph card etc.

Let me know if more (or better) pics would help.

It is a genuine O8400 calibre and a whole watch looks Ok.

Just curious does it work and keep time? Do all the functions actually operate?

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. The photos aren't great but if it is genuine, I want it!
Cheers.

Great - thank you for confirming.
It certainly didn't have any of the items that the high-end replica's appear to (flat dial face, extra arm on the fake movement etc), so that Sts my mind at rest.

Hello all!

like the post first stated. I am one of those that just bought a watch off eBay, and it was before I realized the Authentic guarantee they offered... live and learn.

So I purchased this 2006 Omega Seamaster Pro 300m, and living in Naples, Italy there are struggles with going the a Certified Service center that I am trying to work through now. Also thinking of getting the records extracted form Omega, but not sure I want to drop $150 on top of getting it serviced.

it was listed as a complete set, it came with the Red box, booklet, 3 cards, even a blue Omega rubber strap. Watch number matches on cards as well as on the lug and in the movement. just trying to get more eyes on it to confirm it.

not sure how well made the replicas are for this watch.....

Thank you in advanced!

@Betam@x your watch looks Ok, all looks genuine, even spring bars😀
It has a dial with superluminova, just like hands and bezel, which is fine for year 2006.
Early production 1120 movements hve had a serial number on the main plate, I don't know a transition date but the later production 1120's have it on the balance bridge, just like yours. Imo everything ckecks-in.
Nice watch btw!

Totally legitimate.

Is it new or used? Only ask as if new (as stickered) why it's on the NATO rather than deployant strap or bracelet?

Is it coming with the correct box, spares and docs?
