zOwie Omega Discussion Forum

Looked again and you're correct as usual. But the overall design of the bracelet and the case back comes extremely close. I guess thats what fooled me. The missing Omega on the case back was mentioned. In addtion. The wave pattern direction on the case back is oriented incorrectly relative to the Seamonster.

The auction is closed and the reserve wasn't met. I wonder why there were no takers greater than $100, especially since it looks so real.

: ...the most noticable defect is the
: glow-in-the-dark bezel marker. It is
: oversized, much cruder and is raised above
: the surface of the bezel. The real one would
: be inset and have a tiny bezel around it
: holding a piece of sapphire crystal over it.

: Less obvious on casual observation is that the
: chronograph subdials are wrong. Subdial
: function and exact position differences are
: a common giveaway on counterfeits, as they
: are in fixed locations based on the type of
: movement used. So the counterfeiters often
: have to settle for a movement that is not
: quite a perfect match for the original
: watch's features and positions.

: First, the 12 hour dial should be on the
: bottom, not the left. Second, the subdials
: are too far inboard--they should be about 1
: mm closer to the outer edge of the dial.

: But these counterfeits are getting harder to
: tell!
