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.

Looks ok to my eyes... I'm not super expert on the 7751's but everything I see on it looks correct.

Now I would mention to you that Omega recently revived it's 7751 line to include a screw back and higher W/R rating. Before you bid, perhaps you'd be interested in pursuing that possibility. Email me for an AD referral and the fellow I'd send you to will be able to not only answer your questions on the new models, he'll be able to provide you an excellent discount from MSRP.

My email is at the top of this message. It'd only take you a couple of minutes investment to learn a lot.
