    Default urgent, need help to know if its fake or not

    Hi all,
    please can you confirm if the sea master in this link fake or not, my brother is planning to buy exactly the same one as in this link but without the warranty card and from some guy we never met befor, and I own a blue one but I bought it from an authorized dealer long time ago, when I saw it and hold it I felt something wrong and when I saw the leather box and the cardboard box its very deferent than mine, deep down I feel its fake but my brother disagree, can you please help me.
    Thanks

    The watch in the posting looks legit , but thats not the one your brother is buying . If it feels different than it is . My best advise is to look at the dial with a 10x loupe , if you can see ANY difference in the printing than it's a fake . Notice how EXACTLY the paint is applied on the original and how sharp the edges of the lettering are .If there is a doubt don't buy it.The seller may not know he has a fake. You have a legit one to compare it to so there should be no doubt..Good Luck. Tell your brother to be patient. BTW I have been to your country several times and it is one of my favorites,EXCELLENT food , very educated and civil population. The west needs to learn more about it.

    If you have any doubt at all don't buy it. It's just that simple.

    The watch on the picture does look authentic. I am only not sure if they made James Bond edition with black dial and black background on the date, but it should be easy to verify. Also the watch you are looking to by is not the one on the picture, so be careful

    Sorry without trying to confuse you, I just looked at my co-axial, and in my case the red Seamaster marking is on the top half of the dial right underneath Omega marking. This may be different for quartz and auto watches though, but I'd double check..

    The watch in the listing is legit. But since that isn't what your brother is buying, I would advise you do pass on the one you are describing. If it doesn't feel right and it is giving you reservations, move on.

    The 'Seamaster' writing is on the bottom half for the quartz model.
