Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to the watch collection community, and this is my first post
Anyways, I'd like to buy myself a Christmas gift, and I narrowed down the search to model # 2512.50. It's a beautiful watch, and I love it. The retail price is about $4500, but I'm planning to buy it online for cheaper price of around $2700. I've found a few "reputable" company that aren't authorized dealers, but sell authentic watches at a deep discount. They have lots pretty good reviews
When I receive the watch, how can I tell if it's real or not without opening the case? Or would that be the only solution? I own a Tag Heuer Link, and I know the back of the case on each end, there's a laser engraving of the model number. Is this the case with the Omega watches too?
From this reference website, http://www.uhrenhandel.de/store/omega-seamaster-aqua-terra-chronograph-251250-p-4040.html
I see that the back of the case is engraved with "950".
All of you watch collectors and experts, please give some insights as to what to look out for or ways to tell fake from reals. If it's fake, I'd return it and if they don't, I'll charge back on my credit card, so it's not a big risk.
Thanks in advance,
Will
