Deep fake .

Thank you for your input.

May I request you to briefly elaborate the reasons? I need them to cancel my order. Sorry I'm a novice in this area and seem to have been fooled.

For the sake of brevity, look not further than the location of the date window, location of HE valve, and bezel.

It’s a horrible fake.

The rifling(?) of the crown and He valve usually are the same maybe. The date wheel should not be white perhaps.

It appears that the bezel triangle around the pip is cracked.

The underside of the bracelet has a casting error mark in the link immediately behind the case endlink (visible on BOTH sides of the bracelet in the same position relative to the case) that would NEVER pass quality control.

These two things alone would put me off this watch even if I had ZERO knowledge that the HE valve, crown, date window, and bezel are all wrong.

Would you guys kindly help me to review this one? It's got a white date dial but the date window and the He wheel are in the right place however. May I kindly request your thoughts before I go ahead and buy this one and don't fall into a web like I did with the previous one.


Adding photos.

Oh, that PO is pretty horrible! The bezel pip is just rotten.

The 300 quartz, looks like it's a mid size, looks legit though

It looks correct and to reiterate, it's a 36mm midsize quartz (2561.80). They can be good value if that's what you're looking for and at the right price. What is the price on it? There are loads of these out there so choice isn't going to be an issue if this is the model you want.

The one in your pictures looks like it has significant stretch in the bracelet and possibly soft edges on the bezel (hard to tell with the quality of the photos). I'd look for a better example personally.

You are going about this all the wrong way. Instead of simple pics without any further detail you need to tell us what you are actually looking for. If you carry on like this you will end up with a perfectly genuine example of an Omega that is in terrible condition and may be larger or smaller than you think. As already noted, the watches in both pics you have posted, which are wildly different models by the way (one fake auto, one very small genuine quartz) are are very junky for different reasons but if you don't give some input, you wont get good output.

I'd suggest you start again in a new thread with something along the lines of "I am looking to buy a nice example of model XXXX.XX, I live in XXXXX and have found these so far, advertised at these prices, what do people think".

Yes of course, I completely get your point.
Thank you all very much for your input by the way. I do appreciate it and it saved me quite abit of money and heartache.

I'll start a new tread as advised and lay out what I'm looking for clearly and not in such a haphazard fashion.

Regards

perfect!

Also the photos (quality) are as piss poor as the examples....it could be that the OP does also not know WHERE to shop. All these homemade pics seems like maybe CL or FB marketplace. OP, go onto Chrono24.....filter for your price range, find a seller with a good rating that has been on the site for a while. There are plenty nicer examples of these around. The quartz Seamaster is very reasonable compared to say the 2220.80

Good luck, and this comment was really good advice.
