Well, it arrived today and I realize I really need to take it to a watchmaker so he can open it and determine wether it's a counterfeit or not.
I have gone through the list here: http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/omega/articles/pete_jones/seamaster_via_auction/pj.htm
Everything is in order, the bracelet, the "horse" on the back, the crown, the wave pattern both on the back and on the dial, the placement of the serial number on the back (says "54144598", number on the bracelet is "825"), everything. Except that the Helium valve does not have the Omega logo on it. And that makes me wonder and I've come up with 2 scenarios:
1. It's a really, really good fake. The bracelet for example has to be the real deal, and that costs almost as much as I bought the watch for.
2. It's genuine, but the valve has been replaced for some reason.
And a possible third, but that's unlikely. Has Omega ever produced a Seamaster with no logo on the helium valve?
Anyone got some kind words to calm me down? :)
