Hi all.

Looking for your input on a watch I just saw. Do you think it is real or fake. I dont have great images since this is what the seller has on his listing.

The watch is very well priced but it does raise an eyebrow.

 

I say fake. I dont like the Omega logo on the dial.

 

I agree, and the black on white date is not something I have seen anywhere. Thanks for the input.

 

Yep, missed that.

 

Worse pics would also reveal a fake. bezel caseback etc

 

That watch raises more than an eyebrow. I’d say it raises two eyebrows and a full head of hair!

 

Definitely fake. Steer clear

 

It’s not even a good fake.

 

Those pictures present as fakes.

 

Plus that HE valve is not far enough past the '10', looks too align in that shot, That was always the big tell in the old days when a fake looked like a fake

 

From those pictures, that watch is from the old days when a fake looked like a fake. Personally, I preferred that. With the new "super fakes" everybody loses but the couple of owners of the Chinese factories turning this crap out. The workers are poorly treated and paid; the purchaser is spending enough money to buy a real, quality timepiece and ending up with a good looking watch with a crappy, short-lived movement, and aficionados of certain brands have to carry a loupe and case tool around with them when shopping for a watch. I'd much, much rather wear a genuine Seiko, Hamilton, Steinhart, Timex, Casio... than look down at my wrist and know that I'm wearing a lie born of theft, deceit, and exploitative labor.

I won't even start on the utter gutter trash slime that purchases these fakes in order to turn them around online as genuine, tossing their honor in the trash while preying on the gullibility of others.

Edit: Apologize for the rant. If I offended the guilty, not sorry.

 

Not that you need any more convincing, but just for reference; the applied Omega logo is too wide - it should be narrower than the 12 o’clock numeral, and the alignment of ‘Swiss Made’ is uneven between the minute indexes. Even from the fuzzy images there’s nothing to suggest it’s a genuine Omega

Have a good one

 

Yep, that was my point, it is an 'old' fake, unlike the fakes of today as you correctly pointed out, that cause a lot of anxiety with many buyers who haven't a clue, mostly. These new breed will only get better sadly. Always amazed by the sites online who brazenly sell many of them and how quick they hit the market after the new models are released.

 

The date wheel alone shows its a fake. Don't need to look any further than that.

 

100% COUNTERFEIT.

 

The hev is too high. as if anything else needed to be said...
