We have a winner!
In Response To: Re: FakeBusters pop quiz! ()

: will guess that ALL are real, but were
: non-USA editions only.

We have a winner! All are real, but versions only marketed in Japan.

I selected them because they have attributes that people elsewhere might take as a sign of a fake.

A is an unusual one in that it is exactly the same as a US/Interntational model -- except that only in Japan does OMEGA print the 'DeVille' name on the dial of that series.

B looks different enough from the usual Seamaster 120 dial that people might mistake it for a fake.

C is a very cartoony ladies style that is so different from anything that OMEGA usually makes that it too might easily be takes as a fake.
