Real or fake James Bond seamaster?

[mmson7289]

I have a local guy (Utah) who wants to make a trade on this watch. He states it is an import from Japan and does not have an international warranty. I’m a watch newbie but this just seems like a possible fake looking at the paperwork. Trade value approx. $3k

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's fake. Take a moment to Google the serial number 89236388.

That is entirely counterfeit, you’ll see a lot of issues with it compared to a real one here: https://stories.omegaforums.net/jam...-aqua-terra-cal-8507-tribute-to-bond-history/

Thanks to the both of you. I didn’t even realize that barcode was supposed to be a serial number.

You are running in the wrong circles if someone is trying to make a trade using that watch.

And all the paperwork in the photos clearly show it came from China.


And to mention, this

Same dodgy business name used in scams here too:

Edit: and for search purposes the name of the scammy business is "Switzerland Jewelry Watch Shop" with a Hong Kong based address listed.

Jewelly. Perfectly cromulent word for when something is kind of like jewels.

I wonder what the letters "POS" in the heading of the receipt in the second picture stands for. 🤔

I made a vow not to post turds on OF, so you have to use your imagination.

And thank you for that service.
