Just one more thing to impede the fakers.

: Hey all,

: This question is for anyone but CajunMike is
: normally my "go to" guy for
: questions. In the months since my purchase
: of an Omega 2254.50.00 Seamaster I have
: noticed on the caseback that there is a
: little, grey, what looks like a
: silk-screened logo of a the Omega logo on a
: grid-like representation of the world. It's
: on the flat part of the caseback outside of
: the Hippocamp engraving. Does anyone know
: what I am talking about and if so do you
: have it to? I'm not sure if this comes on
: all new Omegas as a security feature or not.
: By the way, I have contacted Omega TWICE
: through their website(where you give them
: the serial number of your watch,etc) to try
: and find out the manufactuer date and to
: make sure it's an authentic Omega(which I
: know it is) and have heard nothing from
: them. Here's a copy of that part of the
: site: HOW CAN I BE SURE I AM BUYING A
: GENUINE OMEGA WATCH?
: You can be sure you are buying a genuine Omega
: watch if you follow these steps: - buy an
: Omega watch only from authorised Omega
: retailers

: - ask for the credit-card size warranty, duly
: completed with the 8-digit serial number,
: the watch reference and the retailer's full
: name and address

: - if you want to know whether a watch is
: genuine, please send us the 8-digit serial
: number which is engraved on the outer edge
: of the watch case-back. We can then compare
: your information with our official records
: to determine whether the watch is a genuine
: Omega. Contact us
