Real or Fake Omega Seamaster ?
Hi everyone!
New collector here and came across this omega online. Need some help and tips on what to look for examining fake vs. real in the online space.

Fake
Poorly fitted end links. Terrible finishing. Cheap pip fell off. Movement is a terrible Chinese DG2813 made to look like an Omega movement. These movements are often used in low end fakes. It’s a low rent fake you can pick up for $50 or less

Thanks! I was already skeptical. Very helpful things to take note of!
If you want a real seamaster I am selling mine for the best price you will find online
Fake 🤥
What were they asking? Did the price align with what's out there for pre-owned of that same reference? Wondering if it is one of those "too good to be true" scenarios
Fake. The Omega Cal 8500 movement (pictured) has a full balance bridge, and black colored balance wheel.
As others have mentioned, fake. No Geneva stripes on the bridges, and the attempt at them on the rotor is very poor.
No one else mentioning the giveaway on the dial with the terrible applied logo or the fact the date window is miles away from the bezel.
Least said about the back the better

Yeah it was definitely too good to be true. But then wanted to practice my eyes on taking a look at it on the signs of it being a fake.
