Does this PO look genuine?

Hi guys.

In the process of potentially buying this.

Does anything look off with it ? Just trying to be careful buying pre owned.

Is it just me or does some of the pictures look like it's more used than the first photos ?


Thanks guys

From my standpoint, nothing is glaring that makes me think it is not an authentic Omega PO. Others may chime in with their thoughts and comments.

The bracelet has certainly seen some use and could use a good polishing.

I would also want to see a photo of the Omega warranty and Pictogram card that matches the serial number on the back of the lugs.

You could also meet at an Omega AD to possibly have them authenticate the watch.

Bottom line, buy the seller and it you have any doubts (ie: the price to too good to be true), then walk away!

Hi. Thank you for reply.

I asked him for a close up pic of the movement. Will post it when he sends.

The deal is basically a straight trade for bnib speedy moon hesalite

Looks pretty good to me. I would not worry about some photos looking better than others, they’re just catching the light differently and some are better than others.

How much is it btw? I’m selling one very similar but on the rubberised leather strap.

Are there many decent P.O. fakes around? It looks like the effort you’d have to put into machining a credible looking coax movement through an engraved sapphire case back would be more trouble than it worth - compared to say a knock off moon watch or sub.

PO fakes are plentiful and very good. Almost impossible to determine from the shots offered. Get Movement pic and documents. Do some more research online about what to look for.

Looks good from those photos. I don’t see any red flags.

This. Check the movement very carefully as the fakes are replicating the plates and engravings to a convincing level at a glance without magnification. Under a loupe it is clear what is genuine and what isn't.

And I agree, the card and serial should match. If they don't (or there is no card) you should still visit an AD to verify it isn't stolen.
