Hey guys, I came across this watch in a pile while thrift shopping and I'd like you guys' help identifying & confirming its authenticity. I'm not knowledgeable at all when it comes to Omega watches so I apologize beforehand for my ignorance. Here are some pictures:










Thanks in advance guys!

 

Sorry, completely fake.

 

Ah I see, is there anything specific as to how you can tell? I'd like to learn too!

 

Well, actually absolutely nothing about this one is correct.

 

Well the case back is certainly ultra thin.

 

Besides that, how can you tell?

 

It’s supposed to be 18k solid gold look at the colour of it it’s all fading away defo a fake

 

That's probably because of the lighting & my bad camera, in hand it looks quite clean and bright except for some dirt here and there. It's not a solid method to check if the gold is real but I tried using a magnet and bite pressure. Both checked out. I was hoping to know other ways of knowing if the watch is authentic & the model name.

 

There is no model name because it is a fake. It's not gold, those aren't diamonds and most importantly, it's not an Omega. Start your education here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/don...re-not-for-questions.6235/page-50#post-819202

 

Defo not the lighting bud take it to the jeweller tell them to drop a little gold testing acid on it and I’m sure it will come Back fake i would put my house on it

 

What part of completely fake don't you understand?

 

Oh well, thanks for your help guys! Was just hoping if I stumbled across a nice find but it looks like that's not the case.

 

Keep searching mate next time don’t wait for the 10th it’s fake post for it to eventually sink in I know it’s hard to swallow but the members on here really know there stuff

 

Just look at many pics of real omegas and you'll see that the general quality of that watch is far from them. There is no need to know the real model. The finish of the whole thing is ...terrible. Omegas are better made and prettier.

 

Okay, couple of very obvious things...

- Omega doesn't stamp the outside of case backs the way that one is, showing gold content.

- The movement inside is not made by Omega.

That's plenty to know this is a fake...but if you have seen enough genuine Omegas, you will be able to spot fakes when the photos are only 1/2 downloaded, like I could on this one...

Cheers, Al
