Hi all,

Bought this watch from Beaver Brooks last year and have only just noticed a defect on my Omega Seamaster.

The pip on the bezel looks to to have been installed offset to the triangle indicator.

What are your thoughts on what i should do and who is responsible?

I would vote fake but I admit I am not familiar with these models. Overall looks cheap to me and there appear to be some other misalignments (between bezel and rehaut, e.g.). Pics of the back?

If you bought it from a brick-and-mortar AD, I doubt it's fake.

Far from being familiar with this model but if it is a fake it would fool me easily

Back added.

I agree that is probably not fake as I bought it from a very reputable outlet, I just wonder if I have left it t late to get a replacement.

I wear it all the time and I am surprised that I have never noticed the defect but it will definitely affect the resale value.

Don’t wonder. I’d March right back to the AD and demand that this defect be corrected.

Looks weird. Would get a photo of the movement to be sure. What's that on the back of the lugs?

Took it back to the shop and they have sent it back to omega to replace the bezel 😀

Fixed, Beaver Brooks sent it back to omega and omega have replaced the Bezel and now it is perfect.

So happy with the service from both companies.

Just wait, in 10 years we'll be seeing "off center pip" Seamaster Pro's being sold for 5x the centered ones.
