I saw this bracelet at an retired watchmaker. I was not sure whether I should buy it because I doubted it's genuity. It was brand new and packed in blued plastic like cheap bracelet use to do. How did they come from factory?

Originally new manufactured Omega bracelets look wrapped like this:

But the wrapping doesn`t say that the bracelet in question is legit or not.

Okay thanks for sharing. The one I saw was surrounded by sticking blue plastic all the way around.

It can be that the one you saw was new but stored for a long time.
I dont know how the factory wrapping looked in olden days.
