very happy with watch Planet Ocean *PIC*

Recently bought a Planet Ocean from a grey dealer and really didnt know much about what I was doing but Amazon had there listing at one time and reading the theory behind "grey market" .... it seemed reasonable to consider. usually, I consider warranties not so important on quality mfg. and this grey dealer offered 3 yr .... Anmyway, I bought the concept. Then receive the watch and liked it but then I started reading on the net about replicas and fakes and how genuine they appear and I started to panic.
then, I noticed the bezel alignment slightly off at the 3:00 position ... got even more scared.

long story short,,,, the watch keeps absolute perfect time ..... within seconds over a week, and I called the Omega cust serv and asked if I could get the date of manufacture on my watch. Sure enough ,,,, the watch is genuine and was mfg march 05

But ,,, thanks in large part to this website to educate me a little enough to qualify my watch as genuine and not feel like I got poked.
