Ups... Sorry

I'm new to this forum and discoved a new interest in watches. I have filled for the Omega brand.

My self is a family man, age 43, living in Denmark with my family.
Would like to have some experts advice to buying my first Omega watch.

 

Looks authentic to me.

 

Thanks! Appreciate you answer!

 

That looks like a variation of the 145.019, according to Wound for Life.

 

little harsh out there

 

Agree!

 

Thanks for your kind answer!

 

Now the guidelines are in place. Could someone please have a look a see if it is the real thing. Would appreciate it!

 

it looks to be authentic and remember ebay guarantee. if you get it its always best to just have it verified by an watch expert.

 

to me, it is very Authentic!...

 

Real. If your concerned, then a member here who is a dealer has one for sale on his website. Pm me if you want the link.

 

Thanks for your kind answer

 

Thanks!!

 

I think many of the senior members are hard on the new posters. Many of the seasoned member know each other personally or through a long time of exchanges here. Yes there is a certain forum ediquette, but biting somebody's head off on one of their first posts isn't necessarily good ediquette either.

 

I don't know... Very first post and it's a simple one-liner asking others to go visit an eBay link and tell him if the watch is real or not, and then educate on how to tell. And all that without a 'hello', 'please' or 'thank you'..

i.e., OP put in almost zero effort going into an established forum, and wants a bunch of strangers to do work for him/ her. Cicindela's response was very reasonable in my opinion, as many others would not have been as polite.
