路Hello! A few years ago I bought what I though was a 1998 Speedy Broad Arrow 3594.50.00. It came without a box but with the white international warranty card with a '99,1,23 in service date and matching Ref numbers and Watch no. which is an early 48 serial. Fast forward a few years and it had a mainspring fail, so earlier this week I took it in for a service. When I left the boutique I felt good about what I had, case and bracelet both match (its a 1499/842), watch received praise from the representatives, and after a few months in Seattle I'd have basically a brand new Watch with a 2 year warranty. Then today I received a call from the boutique technician that the watch would be going to Switzerland because it has an 861 movement which can not be serviced in Seattle... um I thought all 3594.50s had 1861 movements. The technician tells me its a very early production model and therefor even more collectable, just what i like to hear haha. Does this pass the sniff test though? My inner pessimist tells me its some other 861 model with Broad Arrow bezel dial and hands. Is there any other record of 3594.50s receiving 861s early in the production run?

路Hello new members...
Welcome to the OmegaForums.net!!
I have specifically created this thread just for the newbies who come on here after they have been given a watch buy their uncle's uncle twice removed OR they have bought what you think is a legit Omega off good old flee bay!
The idea is you post your watch here and it is discussed by our panel of experts, who I might add, may say few choice words like 馃が and 馃が or maybe 馃が.
The will endeavour to be as blunt as possible, but getting you the answer you are looking for.
The main idea is this..
It will remove the countless new threads asking 'Is my watch fake?' or 'I was left this by my dad's dad's dad from 1860'
Any new threads will be merged in to this one as of now.
Thanks very much.

路Hello Omega owning friends,
So I just recently bought a new Omega Ladymatic for myself, second hand. It has a warranty card and the body looks very very good, if its a replica its a dang good one... but whats killing me is that the 8520 movement in it does not look anything like others i have seen online... I do have a version that is no longer in production, is it possible that I have like an old 8520 that looks different or have I been scammed?

路I鈥檓 not familiar with this movement in particular, but there are a lot of inconsistencies with the rest of omega鈥檚 movements. I think it is fake

I鈥檓 going to echo the sentiments you got on your other thread. You need a full movement shot. Not ultra macro closeups of certain select spots of the movement.

Does it look Legit? The seller has several transactions. Any input is appreciated. I don't want to be fooled.

路Please can I get some input on whether this is legit or not?
It appears to be a Seamaster Diver 300m Regatta of some description but I can鈥檛 find any images of this dial/hand/chronometer colour combinations anywhere.
Other than the missing lume dot from the bezel it appears in reasonable condition albeit needs a proper clean.

路That Regatta looks very fake. Does it even have a real chronograph movement?

Two, there was a red option but it was the limited edition ENTZ model, which the one you show is not. The price for this reference is reflected by its limited edition run.
