Re: seamaster serial number
In Response To: seamaster serial number ()

: Does anyone know if there is a way of
: crosschecking the serial number of my 2254
: Seamaster against a database to ensure that
: it is not a replica ?

How would you know that the serial number wasn't faked off a similar REAL watch? A seemingly correct serial number doesn't PROVE the watch is not a replica. This happens on Rolex fakes all the time -- one single serial number is copied off a real watch and used over and over on the matching fakes.

But relax. OMEGA fakes normally don't include a laser etched serial number on the lug. Too expensive to do it like OMEGA does. So if the serial number is in the right place and in the tiny laser etched numbers, then your watch should be real.
