Hi Meme-Dweller, Many thanks for your reply. Hope you are not wrong because the watch is reserved untill tomorrow and if I dont have any bad news about the movement I am going to buy it. This is my first buy online and I am a little bit worried. Many thanks again!!

They're not the highest resolution so maybe some details have been lost but I don't see a serial number or Omega globe on the case . I can't be certain but I thought by 2016 all the watches had the Omega globe on the cases?

EDIT: Any photos of the front?

Do you have complete confidence in the seller, have you checked their honesty as much as you can?

As Meme-Dweller said, from those pictures it looks OK, but then so does this.... Good Luck!

I knew that was fake from the first second he turned it to the movement side.

The fake movements for the fake planet oceans are easy to spot as they are not replicating the free sprung balance and instead use a regulator. Not to say it’s impossible to replicate but it hasn’t been done yet. They also dress up the movement with fake jewels but they will lack pivots if you look closely.

For the photos you posted, even though it is not a very clear picture, the first photo looks ok. With the second photo, is there a particular reason why the caseback looks different than the first photo? ie: the text is in different positions.

It sure is in different spots. In picture 1: Planet Ocean by the crown. In picture 2: Planet Ocean by helium release valve.

They apparently seem to be two different watches, with two different hands, and two different box versions in the background. Might be a scam.

Also, just so you know, here is a fake movement.

They have improved them so you can't just go off old info anymore.

Edited to say: You can no longer just go off the traditional missing pieces like in the video above. They are constantly improving these fakes.

It's possible that it's genuine but a scam based on someone collecting real images of multiple watches to sell as a singular listing. But, "super clones" have really stepped up their game recently.

Hi Guys,

Just got back home and my first thing was read your posts!! You guys save me more than 2000 euros!!! I was looking everything on the movement searching for everything online to TRY TO BE CLEVER!! And everything was front of me!! The seller sent me 2 photos from 2 different watches in less the 1 hour. Just dont know what to do with this f***s. With 16 years of boxing wish they are living down the corner.
Once again thank you for everything!! Looks like I still have to wait to have my first Omega. GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks a million!!!

Yup indeed.

Here is a good side by side comparison of the fakes and real 8900/8500

The jewels circled in orange are fake, lacking the pivot.

I was waiting/hoping to see him use that saw to cut it in half!

I see a serial number (can't read it though) and globe on the case in both pics.
