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.
: This isn't a fake, I don't think. But it is an
: example of an Omega watch with the dreaded
: missing/altered serial number. Look at the
: last photo on the bottom and do a closeup
: view. They did such a unprofessional job
: attempting to eradicate the s/n.
Actually, it looks to me like someone used a paint program to intentionally obscure the PHOTO to not reveal the number.
Only faults I see in the eBay posting are the claims that it has a RARE DIAL and is the JAMES BOND STYLE model -- both of which are blatantly false. Possibly this jeweler simply hasn't dealt with Seamaster Professional models enough to realize this is a common model that has been out for over four years which has a different style than the James Bond series.
Otherwise, this seems to be a legit watch listed by a seller with an incredibly good feedback record (100% positive on over 1000 transactions!).
