Hi

Apologies if this is in the wrong section of the forum but I am new and looking to purchase this timepiece and wanted to know if it is genuine or not:

1. OmegaSeamaster PlanetOcean - Calibre 8500 is the make of the timepiece
2. Been told by seller it was purchased in September 2013
3. Bracelet strap identification is 232.30.42.21.01.001
4. Watch serial number is 85694020
5. On the back case it also has S114 - what does that mean?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Meet the seller at an AD for an inspection before handing over the payment. The watch pictured looks ok to me, but too many people get burnt by paying and ending up with something entirely different.

Looks correct to me. The case, the movement, the laser etched serial number in lug & globe marking in case back are legit.
Si14 showing that the movement utilize Silicone (which in periodic table number is 14) for its balance spring.
