Counterfeit Watchers Discussion Forum

A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches -- including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces. Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization, repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.

Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.

checking a serial number

This is the first time I am using this site. I have an Omega watch which I have inherited from a deceased relative and therefore it has no papers. It looks, feels and works extremely well just like an authentic Omega. It is the full size Seamaster Chronometer/ Chronograph Professional Divers model. It is all in stainless steel and appears to have all the necessary symbols. The dial is black and the bezzel is in stainless steel. The chronograph hands are in red, the hour, minute and second hand are in stainless. The hour and minute have an illuminating coating. There is a serial number on the back of the watch at 7. This is in very small etching. Would it be possible to trace the origins of the watch from this serial number? It is an 8 digit number.
The number is: 48602595.
I would be grateful for any help. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures on any site to forward to you. I could email the pictures on if you could give me an email address.

Many thanks for your time.

Regards
