Counterfeit Watchers Discussion Forum

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.

Re: SeaMaster 1164 Black
In Response To: SeaMaster 1164 Black ()

(Sorry, some mistyping)

To all interested ...
on 26 October 2008 I have seen and touched an Omega Seamaster Pro, Chrono, cal 1164 in steel ("c.d. Bond type ?") with skeletonized hands, and BLACK COLOUR dials and bezels in an offical Omega shop in Beijing Airport, national departures zone

It looked very fine and the price was 28,000 yuen (i.e. something around 3,000 Euro)

When I requested, the very kind salesman insisted for me to wear it and told me he has also the blue version, if just I liked it
Frankly speaking I was tempted to buy the thing

I'm not an expert of Omega but I've read that the black version of 1164 does not exist ...
What do U think?

THNX very much for help
GC

Sorry cannot include the image (at least for now, maybe next passage in that shop...)
