Beat me to it. I was going to post this when I got back from the bathroom.

Ksporty · 18 January 2020, 05:33 AM

Wow, that’s pretty frightening!

DaninFlorida · 18 January 2020, 05:53 AM

makes you think Omega is ripping us off :)

the fakes are crazy good nowadays...luckily still no good fakes of the moonwatch, one of few watches you can feel pretty good about buying third party and not getting a fake. but i am sure its just a matter of time before they are able to build a replica movement and get the dial spacing right.

sensui · 18 January 2020, 08:30 AM

Good fake....better and better for sure. Scary.

Milnef0 · 18 January 2020, 08:33 AM

This is scary...so I'll pay good money for a piece I love only to get a fake??
Wish there's a manual to automatically detect a fake.

nworbled · 18 January 2020, 09:30 AM

That's crazy. I've never bought a pre-owned watch before but something like this would certainly give me pause before I did.

enjoythemusic · 18 January 2020, 09:31 AM

Impressive! Reminds me of LV as years ago fakes were easy to spot. Today, certain fakes in my opinion might be made slightly better in some circumstances than the real thing. A mechanical timepiece is a while 'nother challenge. Imagine if they fake a 321b(!). Just wow!

Wonder how this might also affect used pricing of the real deal.

scarlet knight · 18 January 2020, 10:18 AM

I only buy from ADs.

Patton250 · 18 January 2020, 10:25 AM

Wow. I own that exact watch. LOL

Scary stuff

Wcdhtwn · 18 January 2020, 10:38 AM

Good fake, I picked out which it was fairly quickly. The key is if you are going to buy a watch in a situation that it could be fake then you need to pay close attention. Best advice is AD or Trusted Seller... and don’t worry about it.

EdwardC · 18 January 2020, 11:34 AM

Unless the ADs are selling fakes, my Omegas are OK. They give me enough incentives to come back to them.

Scary regardless

colpol · 18 January 2020, 09:06 PM

Scarey indeed.

I guess with omega prices going higher/ higher was only a matter of time before the fakers started doing what they’ve done with rolex for years

samson66 · 18 January 2020, 11:11 PM

That's incredible, no way I could pick the fake looking at that.

All I can say is "wow." I saw this yesterday when it hit my YouTube feed, and I was blown away by how detailed the fakes are getting. I couldn't believe how they put a fake movement on top of the real movement to give it the same look. It was very hard to pick out the genuine one in the video.

mgsooner · 19 January 2020, 02:57 PM

Just watched this. Eye opening for sure. I spotted a subtle difference in the crown guards right off the bat, but when you’re not looking at them both side by side it’s not something you’d be likely to notice.

benlee · 19 January 2020, 07:37 PM

This is rather scary indeed. Even the movement was copied to great detail.

Yeah it think about how much they will be asking for them. If it is a fake with that qualities they are going to be asking for a lot of money. Buy from trusted seller with good rap.

Volatile Agent · 20 January 2020, 12:10 PM

No reason for alarm. Just buy from AD or trusted seller. Most of the trusted sellers allow you time to authenticate with a watchmaker.

So, no big deal for most. But for guys looking at buying at a bargain it will be a problem.

MILGAUSS88 · 22 January 2020, 01:22 PM

What a coincidence............

GreenLantern · 22 January 2020, 01:46 PM

None of this is a surprise.

Look at some of the Rolex replicas these days. They're super-fakes. So incredibly crazy how close they are to authentic. And they cost $500+ -- which seems like a lot (to me) for a fake.

That said, to a trained eye, or an experienced collector, you can still find the diffs.
