Nanuq Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Okay folks... is it real, or is it fake? Omega Seamaster 300M
yellomen Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 there are a lot of frankenwatches from this model... but shipping from Malasiya does not leave me with any doubt
By-Tor Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 I don't know if it's gen or rep, but I wouldn't mind wearing it, either way. This model is super cool (although I'd prefer it with a steel bracelet).
involt Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Rep... +1 Wrong bezel insert. Hour markers too thin Edited January 27, 2009 by involt
Nanuq Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 Still waiting for Ubi to weigh in on this one... I know what he's going to say.
mikellem Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Maybe it is real.... Shows what I know.... Not much! MM
Shundi Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Franken with a 552 movement (although the difference in color of the rotor/bridges could be a franken movement...or discolouration due to poor servicing)
smc Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 I'm guessing franken/fake. The dial is iffy and so is the crown. What's up with the caseback being worn so bad?
Jimster Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 It's the real thing. Six and Nine are open. A newer caseback, bezel is correct with the slightest flat top on the four. The one is a stick which was on the first generation of this case produced right after 165.014. They then went to a little left top on the one. Good fake inserts have fat numbers and a slightly larger triangle in the insert. The large triangle dial is rare without the military T but was available. Chuck Maddox and I discussed this a long time ago (RIP Chuck). Jim
Anakin14 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 That guy's feedback rating puts my mind at ease...........
ANOTHERROLEXCOLLECTOR Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Hmmm FAKER SCAMMER nice picture but you will get a fake he is using some of the same pictures for this listing http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem...em=280308609663 Edited February 2, 2009 by ANOTHERROLEXCOLLECTOR
Jimster Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 You're exactly right. This looks fishy. The watch photo is of a gen but the whole deal is looking like fraud. Thanks for the astute investigation. Jim
PAMman Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I have had a few of these and I don't recognise any of the usual teltales of a fake. It may be a franken but I certianly would but it if I was certain that I would receive the watch in the pics.
bluebite Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Genuine case, movt and dial. Don't know the seller though...
