    Need some help on this.. Just bought a Seamaster Diver 300m Co- axial 41mm. Bought it direct from an Omega store this November. I watched some videos on what to look for in an authentic watch. One of the topics was the tiny red dot found at the back of the watch to check if the watch has been opened. I dont see the RED Dot at the back of the watch which I just bought brand New. Why is this so? I presume my watch has not been opened since its brand new! Thanks for any reply on this.

    I believe someone wrote in an earlier post that Omega stopped this practice....

    Thanks for the info. Btw, do you know when exactly they stopped putting that red dot?

    Correct, if it's the original red dot.

    I've just got one too (bought a few days ago which was in a sealed package from OMEGA which was unwrapped right in front of me) which also does NOT have the red dot - I've got to wait for Christmas for mine!!!
