omega deployant - does this look genuine?
got it on ebay. described as genuine and came with original packaging, although was opened.
it does close with a firm, crisp click. however, is it supposed to have this slight gap on the very end? looks suspicious. |

Definitely not, I’m looking at mine now and there is no gap. Also, your omega logo is barely raised, mine is easily raised twice as high as yours.

ya i think ur right, had a bad feeling very quickly when i opened the package.
and although cheaper than retail, i certainly paid a lot more than the ones on ebay that are forthcoming about not being genuine. hopefully the seller won't be difficult and provide a refund - although a PITA sending it back cuz he's in UK and I'm in US. but if seller becomes problematic hopefully ebay will cover the refund. a few more photos that help confirm it's fake - the omega lettering is too vertically oblong (the lettering on original is squared), and the weld spots around the bottom of the pin. |

Out of curiosity, how much are these going for? I have a brand new one sitting around in my drawer somewhere.

Yeah, wouldn’t trust it unless that’s what you want, a cheap alternative.

How much did you pay out of curiosity?
