bertbacharat Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Here is my new genuine OMEGA planet ocean. Let me know what you think. I am always skeptical that my new preowned watches are fake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbacharat Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Are there tell tale signs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 i mean... i think everything except for the case is replaceable.... so i think the only thing you can see is, if the He valve is in the correct position. dial/hands/strap/bezel/dw... all of them can be swapped... i don't know about the CB... and yours looks good gen i would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbacharat Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can you tell by looking up the serial number? Are common serial numbers known as fake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 take it to an Omega AD... they will for sure tell you, if you suspect it better to be safe! post more pics. especially of the case back but u can blur out the serial #.. and of the date window.

danza1812 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yep I'm going with a gen too. Do you have the warranty card or chronometer card, the serial number should match the one on the 7 o clock lug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 :)It looks gen to me,a pic of the movement would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Open it up and check the movement. If its an omega movement, you´re fine and dandy! looks great! If it is a fake.. it´s definitely a SUPER franken and worth as muuch as you paid since it realy does cost almost the same to make a super franken as it does to buy a used gen!

bertbacharat Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I don't have the warrantee cards or the means to open it up. I purchased it for $1500 and it looks like it's never been worn. I'm going to take it to an AD in manhattan to verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signumboy Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 looks spot on I wouldn't be concerned . But its a shame you have no cards , but at that price its good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to take it to an AD in manhattan to verify. Very simple to open. With a good pair of rubber gloves you might be able to open it up with your hands. If not a very rubbery and high non-dusty raquetball will work as well. Or an AD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanp67 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 In the FAQ section on Omega's site they have a link where you can send in your serial and they will get back to you if it is a real Omega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakz Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'd say gen... But it's a good idea to have it by an AD... to be safe. Anyway, great looking watch, a "modern classic"... I'll soon get a rep, and probably a gen at some point in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 My gen 45 PO uses 2500C movement. This movement is not 28.8k bph. It's more 21.6k. If the 42 also runs on the same movement, then it's an obvious tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddleduck79 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Looks gen. Enjoy the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbacharat Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I took it to the AD, and its gen. I'll post more pictures. I got to find a bracelet for it now. I may have to purchase it new from ofrei. I can't find a used one. Thanks for the replies. Edited February 9, 2011 by bertbacharat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
