sotkfkd6324 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I can't find out. Please tell me. And sorry. I have only this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardshark00 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 The date window looks a little rough. The crystal doesnt look right either, could just be the angle however. Im not an omega expert but the easiest way is to just take the caseback off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Looks gen to me. But wait for a few experts to chime in before you take my word on that. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greystash Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Looks Fake ie(Replica) Especially the grooves on the edge of the bezel. (I'm no expert though) Edited January 18, 2011 by Greystash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 42 or 45mm version? If its a 42, the lack of a coin edge bezel would be a dead giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotkfkd6324 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for reply. It's 45mm ver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'd say rep, but hard to tell... 3 things get my attention: 1. second hand needle color seems to light 2. Endlinks gaps between endlinks and bracelet 3. Bezel pearl triangle goes to high to the edge of the bezel insert... couldn't be for sure though, because of the corrected logo. and looks like this one has been used a bit due to scuff marks and scratches on the bracelet...

arizac Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's a 45mm, slightly used, but it's a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danza1812 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Appears gen but a good franken also looks pretty gen believe it or not! If it's something you are buying then you obviously have doubts, I'd research your seller it look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think it's a rep...pearlsize/placing looks different to the gen, distance of the first stroke on the right of the pearl seems a bit different, allthough the bezel looks pretty gen for the rest spacing between the co-axial ect text looks different, size is different when I measured it.Innerbezel(silverline) looks thinner on the gen, lugs attachment to the bracelet looks different. All can be because the placing of the watches are not entirely the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter711 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I call gen. Also the comparison above shows a 42mm PO so there will be differences. Crowns are correct Pearl looks correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Could be a franken, I suppose. Dial definitely looks gen. No rep dial gets the color of the surrounds quite right. Lume is lit up, so it's hard to judge if it's white enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanp67 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 If i compare gens to reps there's one thing i always notice and that is that the reps always cheat on surfaces not easily visible. For example both my SM300 and SMP300 reps have a rugged surface between the lugs under the bracelet endlinks while photo snaps of gens show a perfect mirror finish there. I don't know if the gen PO has a perfect mirror finish under the endlinks but if you could get a photo showing a not perfect mirror finish under the endlinks i would be very suspicious.

rocky78 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I wouldnt buy with just one crappy pic, ask pic of caseback /the serial number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I guess the point is: don't buy a gen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Looks definitely gen, bezel correct, pearl correct, He valve correct size/shape, crown correct size/shape, dial perfect just not very clear from pic, finishing doesnt look great but thats what happens after a couple years wear...but overall its a crap photo with blown out highlights which actually make it look like a very good franken! Still I hope you're not buying from one single photo like this...that would be a wrong way to go about gen purchases.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I would call this genuine but as someone said near the very top ... OPEN IT UP! There is no way a con artist is going to drop a genuine Omega movement into a high quality franken watch. It does not make cost/profit sense. capice: the 45 and the 42mm watches are very different. your photos are of a 42 and a 45.

wiesn089 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Don't buy this one with only that picture. When you have one of at least the back (preferably opened so you can see the movement) one can tell if its a gen. Serial numbers are usually completely wrong/missing, caseback contains huge tells. If the seller's fine, he won't hesitate to take additional pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
