: I didn't know that Omega brought out a 2005
: version, blue dial SMP...

It is a high quality fake -- but still a fake. Where you can tell are:


  • OMEGA has never made a blue bezel on the sword hand style SMP.

  • Hour hand too long.

  • Back of the bracelet links have overly large direction arrows.

  • The bezel marker at 0 is oversized.

  • Unreasonably low asking price.
