Omega Seamaster 2531.80 legit check

Hi guys,

I am looking for a 2531.80 and have some troubles deciding if this one is real or fake. Could you help please ?

I can't have better photos so it is quite hard for me to see the nuances.

Thank you for your help!

If someone isn't willing to send you in focus photos or a video, I'd advise avoiding, its an instant red flag.

This one reminds me of closing time at the local pub once the house lights are turned on.

I'll be a tad more positive. The photos are, as already noted terrible but at face value, that shows none of the usual tells of a fake or messed about example. The ghosted bezel (which some find very desirable) looks original and is quite rare to see since Omega offer to change those free of charge during an official service due to what they consider excessive fading. On the whole it looks to be a honest Superluminova lume example of the breed. What we can't see is how stretched the bracelet is. It could be loose or it could be fine, my money is on slightly saggy based on what little we can see.

Well made points, Im just very wary of sellers sending pictures like this and refusing to take or send more. There's no reason for it, so it does by default create suspicion. That said why not meet the seller at a jeweller or watch shop that can open and check the watch for you for a reasonable price.

It always make me suspicious when sellers manage to take certain photos in perfect focus, yet the important ones are blurry as hell.

That said, I agree with Padders. It’s legit. Just needs some better photos to assess condition.

Thank you for all of your feedbacks! I will try to assess the condition on video.

And you suddenly realise you should have had four more pints when you were chatting her up 😉.
