Re: Real or Fake?

In Response To: Real or Fake? ()

: Take a look and tell me if you think this watch
: is legit! It fits everything I know about
: this model.

Part of the photos and description are stolen direct from the OMEGA website. The large photos--presumably of the actual watch being sold--don't come up for me.

But the dead giveaway is that the seller describes is as a "new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Mens 2503.34.00 style watch." You don't call it an "xxx style" watch if it is the real thing. Also notice that he guarantees it is "new" but says nothing about it being real or authentic.

Obviously, the seller is trying to word everything carefully so that you *think* you are buying a real watch, but once you discover it is a fake, you can't actually pinpoint any specific lie in his auction listing.

So even without being able to see the other photos, I can declare this a fake.
