Fake info
Ever eager to learn, I understand that a common 'fault' with fakes is the helium valve is located in the incorrect position.
Now compared to my watch (bought at an AD), this picture shows the valve in a different position.
IE, on my watch, if I look square on, the 5 is in line with the bottom of the valve wheras the picture shows the opposite.
What should I be looking for because the picture is from the Omega web site.

I wasn't suggesting that I have a fake, just curious after seeing the image because I've read on here that the valve is often wrong on fakes.
Looking at my watch again, the position is subjective dependant on the angle you look at and my attempts at taking photos have the valve all over the place!
There are some pretty clued up people on here who can take one look at scream fake. I would just like to learn from them but need it spelled out a bit.
Thanks for the replies.
