What to look for in a Planet Ocean?

I would like to know what markings there are to determine authenticity. I haven't had an Omega watch for almost a decade now and don't know what to look for when buying second hand. Is there a serial number between the lugs like Rolexes have or is it on the back somewhere?

Thanks for any help.

Serial Number

The serial number for Omega watches tend to be on the back of one of the watch lugs. Hope that helps.

Look for the security seal on the case back. It is laser etched like the SN.
