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.
Thank you for your reply. It's eased my worries.
I've done a lot of research on the net and spotted enough ebay fakes myself, so I was 90% sure this watch was genuine.
I have now contacted the seller and he is happy to take it with me to a nearby authorised dealer for verification. That satisfies me that he is legit, and that hopefully the watch is, and tomorrow it will be on my wrist! I have wanted one for years.

: Yes, it is in good condition. This is not
: impossible though - perhaps it had little

: Anyway, by now, you will have it. Take it to
: your local friendly Omega dealer asap - have
: him look at the inner side of the case and
: the movement. He will know.
: That said, the clever money is on its being OK.
: Gary.
