Asking the community on their opinion on the authenticy of this watch. The seller has more high end jewelry but does not have many watches. They have one knockoff Rolex movement for sale and seem to think it’s legit. That is what worries me. Maybe someone sold them some fake pieces and they don’t even know.
    These pictures are from them so sadly not the best.
    Thanks in advance for help in deciding on this watch.

    If the seller is already selling fakes/parts and is using crummy pictures like this I would avoid.

    Pay more elsewhere for peace of mind.

    Thank you Maganator
    I honestly feel they wouldn’t know the difference.
    Like I said they mainly sell high end gold and precious stone jewelry. They have several other older Omegas that are all legit. I’m just not as confident with newer pieces as they are well faked.
    They are a reputable jewelry shop “brick and mortar”
    With mostly legit stuff, the Rolex movement is the only fake item I saw.
    I feel there’s a good chance it’s legit but don’t have the confidence to spend thousands on a maybe.
    Hoping the community can give me some solid answers as to it looking right or wrong. Thanks again

    Well, it's clearly not a Fukimaster.

    The quality of the photos is terrible, but from what I can see the movement looks legit.

    Thank you. I’ve asked seller for better quality pics. Hopefully they come through. If not I’ll move onto the next one.

    It looks real but yes would need better pictures.

    I wouldn’t have thought they would bother faking a sapphire sandwich as it would be too much work getting the movement to look right...though of course anything is possible.

    That’s what I would think too but I went to a Pawn shop once and they pulled out a special edition 007 Bond Omega with open case back and all looked really good to me. I took photos and researched later and the only thing that ended up being wrong was they printed the wrong jewel count. If I hadn’t researched I would have thought it was real and if they printed the right jewel count I would have thought it was right. They are making all the parts correct but just lack in the finishing department. That’s what makes it hard when buying on line and not seeing in person. I know to buy the seller not the watch.

    That's the correct movement

    While the photos are poor I'm confident the watch legit.

    How much is it? Box and papers?

    They have “A” box but it is the foux wood from what looks like the 70’s, no papers. $3,250
