Re: Watches 1 and 4 are fakes...
In Response To: Watches 1 and 4 are fakes... ()

: I can't tell you anything about watches 2 and 3
: since I'm not a vintage expert (and the
: pictures are much too blurry, anyway).
: However, watches 1 and 4 are unquestionably
: fakes.

: Watch 1 isn't a bad fake at first glance, since
: it appears to have a genuine Omega dial.
: However, the movement showing thought the
: caseback is a far cry from the caliber 2628
: that's supposed to be in the Bond GMT. Then
: there's the fact that He relief valve is in
: the wrong spot and the luminous dot in the
: bezel marker is much too big.

: Watch 4 is such a bad fake that I won't even
: bother listing all the things that are wrong
: with it.

: Cheers,
: John

Well thanks a lot. Much appriciated. About watch 4: Is it because its orange? :D
