Re: Omega Mid-Size SMP - GMT

Johnny,
Most people have small, out-of-focus pictures, but this is a little over doing it...
Anyways, the watch looks like a fake. I don't think there should be a white background for the date display (the colors should be reversed) there also shouldn't be metal highlights on the edges of the luminovas that mark the hours. Also the second hand is totally wrong, it should have a sleeker and thinner look.
But I'm a newbie and haven't even touched a luxury watch before (let alone an Omega!) so I'd wait for a more experienced person to led some advice. But I think I'm VERY knowledgable :-)!

Also, with all of the hours of net browsing, I haven't came across a watch like this. (With all of my experiences: 100% fake)
