    Hello all,

    I bought this off of a reputable seller on reddit and it seems real, but you can never be too sure. It's my first "nice" watch so I want to be really sure.

    Looks fine to me, always nice to see a movement shot but guessing you don't have tools to open the caseback so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Congrats on your first nice watch.

    Great! I actually regulated the movement myself to -1 a day. I can take a movement shot!

    Gorgeous last series 2531ish with SL and holograph on the caseback. I wish I had one but hard to hunt these days.

    Congrats to it and wear it in health!!

    May be a dumb question, but what is an SL and holograph? Is that the anti fake mark?

    SL = Super Luminova.
    Holograph is what we usually call Omega Globe/World logo etched on the case back.

    Those two things indicate your watch is a late production 25315000

    Nope. The quartz watches don’t say “chronometer.”

    Looks good. Hello from mine. The 1503 strap is a real heavyweight.

    Holograph? Is that a new scientific discovery, or just a new made-up word.

    Since the watch was opened and the movement thoroughly viewed and regulated, I am just curious as to how the OP might have had any suspicion the watch could be a fake?

    I don't know much about verifying authenticity or what to look for. It's my first expensive watch and I just wanted to make sure.
