The largest independent, non-commercial, consumer-oriented resource on the Internet for owners, collectors and enthusiasts of fine wristwatches. Online since 1998. | |||||||

A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.
: Since that watch is clearly stated as being
: from the 1980s, is is clearly NOT a
: "current or recent model."
: Applying such information clearly outside
: its stated context is sloppy thinking and
: will cause you to reach such severely
: incorrect conclusions.
: This is not something that you can immediately
: be an expert simply for knowing one or two
: factoids.

Hi
Thanks for the information. Its just that some of these watches interest me to make bids, but the last thing I want to do is be stung. As you say, you can not summise off a couple of factoids. Are there any really good websites that have a complete history of Omega so I can cross reference what the seller is selling. Been stung once before. Asked seller if the watch was genuine. They said " yes", I bought and it,turned out to be a fake. Been to the omega site. Any others?
Thanks for all the information you have provided so far.
Regards
Andy
