·Unfortunately, it isn't possible to distinguish modern, "super clone" fakes from authentic watches just from standard photographs. If you don't trust your "friend" (in which case, why buy from him?), take the watch to an Omega Boutique for authentication.

·I was surprised to find this in the Vintage Omega sub-forum. But here's some advice, if you don't trust your friend, don't buy a watch from him. Either study all the details so you can distinguish real from fake for yourself, or buy from an authorized dealer.

·You used to be able to tell from the balance bridge, but there’s a new clone that got that fixed. So if this were fake, it would be a really good one.
Even then, I’d look for beat rate (3.5 hz), finishing of the hands under a loupe, and the tactile feeling of manipulating the crown.
Take it to an expert before making a $3.5k mistake.

·A real Master Chronometer Omega will be anti-magnetic so you could put a strong magnet to the balance and see what happens.
Check out this post/video where Robert-Jan takes a look at one of these "super clones".

·The Master Chronometer card shown in the wallet in the photo above will have the watch's serial number as well as a code. Go to the Omega website, establish an account, and you can input the serial number and the code to view the watch's METAS testing results. If the website takes the serial number and the code and shows you the METAS test results, chances are good that the watch is legitimate. That being said, I would still take the watch to an Omega Boutique or a qualified watchmaker for authentication before purchasing.
