Omega tells me they have had a number of reports recently of a new type of Seamaster fake that is of sufficiently accurate in appearance to "to double-cross a possible buyer."
It is sometimes being sold as a model 2531.86.00 -- claiming to be a non-COSC, non-chronometer version of the 2531.80.00 automatic version. One notable characteristic is that the watch behaves as an automatic, but lacks the word CHRONOMETER on the dial like on a quartz model. Omega confirms that they have never made such a version. These have been selling for about $185 on the American market.
One reader at my zOwie site reported buying one at a shop in Rome, Italy that he assumed was a legit Omega dealer because they had some official Omega signs and display pieces.
