Fake
In Response To: Real or Fake? *PIC* ()

Don't buy it. The only people who will recognize it as an omega rather than any other blue watch on the market will know it is fake. Just tell him you don't want it cause you found out it was fake. If he threatens you with bad feedback, tell him you will give him feedback that says he is selling fake watches and report him to ebay. also put that in your reply to his feedback, if he leaves bad.

no seamasters have see-through backs (but one, its rare and costs 40k).

It won't even be that good of a watch, with the cheap chinesse auto movement in there, it might last for a few years, but thats it. also this watch has basically NO water resistance. none. also many fakes use cases made of brass or some other cheap metal, and the "stainless Steel" is really a thin coating, that wears through, and scratches will show up as a gold/brassy color.
also the crystal will scratch, and when it does it will be a dead givaway that it's not authentic.
