    Hello! I want to buy this watch for about 650$. Seller claims it's NOS. Is the price good?
    He also claims it's a Seamaster automatic, cal 1110, 2892-2 movement with 21 jewels. 32mm diameter without crown.
    I like it very much. Do you think it's real or fake?
    Thank you! image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    It looks real enough to me but I don't know much about modern Omegas. Are there papers to go with that box?

    If you had a model number in addition to the movement numbers - btw, the first - 1110 - is the Omega cal and the second - 2892-2 is the ETA reference - you could google the model and get a few pictures to compare it to.

    Good luck.

    Nope, no papers. If it had them I wouldn't be wooried. I don't have an actual model number. I will go with the watch to a good watchmaker in my city but I also wanna hear opinions from you guys, cause this is the Omega "central hub"
    Also, seller claims it's from around 1980s. If i get more details from him I will update this thread.
    Any more opinions welcome, thanks ahsposo!

    The information there is conflicting, some say it's fake and others say it might be ok.
    Plus this forum is for Omega specifically so I believe I can get information from people more in the know.

    I agree 100%. Just because it looks bad, or hasn't been seen before does not provide any evidence that it is a fake. image.jpeg
    Bought this "fake" at a pawnshop for $50. Flipped it for profit.

    I believe the op should offer $500 for the watch knowing it will need a service.

    Nice piece!
    I am hoping that maybe someone has seen it or knows about mine.
    Why do you say it will need service?

    If it's nos, it's 30 years old and hasn't been opened.

    Good point. I'll see what my watchmaker says on tuesday when I see the seller but I would really like more opinions until then from Omega enthusiasts. Thanks Vercin!

    I think the dial looks good. One way to tell would be to take a 10x loupe and look to see if the case has ever been opened. There should be a detent to snap the case back off, and there would be scratches there if it has been opened.

    Look closer and you will see a big scratch where someone tried to open it.

    Hmm, the white thing could be from the light, if that's what you're talking about.

    Now that I am off the iPhone I can see the scratches. Offer less and point out the scratches.
