If I take my omega to a boutique, will they verify its authenticity?

 

Yes.

If it's real they let you keep it.

If it's a fake, they keep it.

 

No they will not. Unless it's obvious. Most people that work at them know little if they will comment means little. There are a few stories of them calling vintage watches fake that are real. And others of them calling newer very good fakes as real.

Mine will offer to send it in for service to verify.

 

Is this before or after you buy one from eBay without doing enough research? (He asks, having read the other two threads you created about this).

 

This is before. Trying to make sure I don't buy a lemon lol

 

There are much, much better ways to make sure you don't buy a lemon.

Namely plenty of research on here.

 

Oh this place is definitely my go to for research before any purchases

 

Hello, and welcome to Omega Forums

 

Thanks! Also I decided to just post the watch in question

Are you buying or selling?

What are your thoughts on it?

 

I am considering buying. It looks to be in excellent condition, with box and tags. I don't know why, but there is still some hesitation. I read the seller feedback and seems very good

 

Always good practise to compare any watch you're considering to known good examples. That should help you avoid a fake, but also see if any non correct parts have been added etc.

 

I compared to some online and it seems to check out. But, my eyes might have missed a few things. Do you folks think it's genuine?

 

It may depend on the country and laws in that country, but Omega confiscating fakes is not their policy.
