hendrixelixir Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 So I took my speedmaster for a bracelet resize (the pins wouldn't come out with my previously tried-and-true paperclip technique), and as he handed me the watch back, he said, "you know this isn't a real omega, right? Omega wouldn't put pins like these in their watches." Anyway, my question is, what do real pins look like? The pins on my look like a folded piece of metal with a little flare out at the ends.

andreww Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Not sure about the Speedy, but apparently the UPO pins are accurate. Basically a straight pin with a sleeve through the middle link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't think the pin is the give away on the Speedmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I find it's best to say upfront to a watchsmith that a watch is a rep. Saves the embarassment of being called out like that. That said, one snooty [censored] was giving me attitude until I said what a VC Overseas retailed at (she clearly hadn't even recognized it) and her attitude immediately changed... Silly [censored], if she's going to be that fickle in her opinions, she ought to at least know the difference between the replicas and the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
