Re: Few guidelines to distinguish...

Well, fer starters, the watch in the pic you provided is neither a quartz nor a midsize. Other than that, it looks great! LOL !!

: Can anyone give me a few guidelines to
: distinguish
: a real Seamaster Midsize Quartz from a fake?

: I'm probably going to buy one (with papers, box
: etc.) from a private seller, so I really
: want to see quickly if it's real or not.

: I figured out some markers: 1. There must be an
: Omega logo below the Seahorse on the back
: 2. The top marker of the bezel must fall into
: the triangle and may not thrust out (only
: the little iron "ring")
: 3. There must be a little illuminating piece on
: the right side of the date
: 4.....
: 5.....

: Can someone please "complete" this
: list?
: I can recognize bad fakes, but I really can use
: some help recognizing "good"
: fakes.

: Thanks a lot!

: P.S: We're talking about the watch on the
: picture.
