Re: Fake Omega?
In Response To: Re: Fake Omega? ()

I have figured it out. It is in fact a replica/fake. The REAL Omega DeVille Coaxial Limited Edition can be seen here: http://www.timezone.com/library/tmachine/tmachine631687724805691831

Also, the movement of this watch can be seen here:

See the 6th picture showing the back of the movement. The guy's watch is not like that and has Omega written ALL OVER that semi-circular crescent that has Omega 2500 written on it in the image. Also, I see that as it is limited to 99 pieces, the numbers are on the back of the watch.

This guy at school's watch doesn't have that and actually has a clear sapphire/glass cover at the back.

Plus, he doesn't have the right strap. I really don't like people who pretend to own something they don't. And before you guys say "Oh, it's just school kids", the guy is 18 and is absolutely loaded, so no excuse to pass off a replica as the real thing. I am now the proud owner of the only Omega at my school. Wahey
