Hi Guys,

Looking to buy my first Omega watch and I stumbled across some pretty goo deals. Now, I am not really to good at spotting Fake/Real Omega watches as I have not owned one for now. I apologize in advance for the bad images uploaded, but for now this are all the pics that I got from the seller.

Please let me know what should I be looking for when online searching for Omega watches and what would be a dead giveaway. For me, the case back looks a bit off and pretty bad considering the manufacturer and the caliber of the watch. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance!
Alex

its the highly sought after speedmaster/seamaster broadarrow. 100% Genuinely fake.

Oof. Totally, 100%, without a doubt NOT something that Omega has ever produced...

This site might not be 100% complete, but I've found just about every reference I've ever looked up here. You won't find anything looks like those pictures.

Can you legally even say Speedmaster, Seamaster and broadarrow in the same sentence?

Total fake

Easy to tell on this one; FAKE. When you find something you're interested in, spend a lot of time looking at and comparing pics of the same watch on reputable dealer sites. If you look at all the details very closely you should be able to tell a fake most of the time. If you do buy something, buy from a reputable site with a return policy and immediately take it to an AD or other higher-end jeweler and either get them to authenticate it or better yet, get an actual appraisal.

Keep shopping, and do your research in advance of any watch purchase.

When looking at a watch - even if you don't know the brand - ask yourself:

Is the quality commensurate with the brand? Is it aged correctly?
What do the dials show? Do they make sense?
Do all of the functions work?

Here, the obvious giveaway is the left subdial that seems to measure days of the week - so 1, 1 and a half, 2, two and a half and so forth - the usual way that we measure days "today is Tuesday and a half"

The other obvious giveaway is that the watch looks like it has been buried in a gravel pit for several years - even a 50 year old, badly abused, quality watch will look much better.

I'm pretty sure in the Canton of Geneve that's a felony punishable with wearing a fake Hublot for a month

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!! I’m going to be ready to pull the trigger later this year on mine…so for now, it learning and drooling. May I ask, what’s your wrist size?

6.5" wrist. the one i have (first gen, 2500 PO) is a 42mm dial. Fits perfectly. i don't think they make that size anymore with the later generations.

That's a beaut and the strap works well with it.
The bezel in particular is a work of art
