    It has sold. But I don't like the look of the lume dot. It could be an aftermarket replacement bezel though.

    But does it look genuine? A few things though. The bracelet is brushed, a problem? Also, there is no laser etching on the back, of the Omega logo.

    Someone might have been a little heavy handed there in the polishing, it looks real but it's had a long life

    The bracelet can be refinished properly - I do these all the time. To get a real Omega bezel insert you have to buy the whole bezel, so it's not cheap.
