Hey everyone, i'm willing to buy a PO soon and i got an offer, any omega experts around that could take a look at this one?

What would you expect as a price?

Thanks

Also the bracelet looks a bit worn in the last picture. Would i get could result "re-brushing" it with a scotchbrite pad?

Fake.

Mis-align pearl.
Wrong logo.
HE valve doesn't seem to be at the right place.

It might just be the pics/lighting, ask for the serial #.

I have a 42mm PO in SS with black/white dial. Bought at a AD. Yours look different.

Does this help?





Also the seller provided me with an image of 2 other watches he sold and the one in the middle i'm talking about together.

I'm certainly no Omega expert but I'll throw in my 2c.

Am I right in assuming this is a 45mm, not 42mm, PO?

The 42mm rep incorrectly has "Professional" on the clasp as per the 45mm so if this is a 42mm, that immediately flags it as fake.

The "Ultimate" 45mm rep has the "happy feet" Omega logo and this one looks OK to me.

I think the HE valve sits slightly lower on the 42mm so assuming this is the 45mm, it looks in the right place to me.

Again, I stress I do not in any way consider myself an expert (or even particularly knowledgeable) about Omega reps but this one looks OK to my limited knowledge.

What I would emphasise is that the 45mm PO is acknowledged to be one of the best replicas on the market and so unless you have 100% backup with paperwork that the watch is genuine, I would advise you to err on the side of caution.

This looks like a genuine 45mm PO to me. As Sharky said, the fake PO has the upturned (or "happy") feet on the Omega logo, but the fake also it doesn't have the slightly recessed edge on the date window. Looking at the pictures here, this one has the correct logo AND also has the correctly recessed edge to the date window. I've seen one of the so called "ultimate" PO replicas and the lack of date window recess is very apparent.

Also, if you can get pictures of it, just check for any external AR. Even the "ultimate" PO doesn't have external AR which is a major giveaway.

So I agree with Sharky that if this is a 45mm model, then it looks fine to me.

Ahh i thought it was a 42mm... the 45mm is different than the 42mm.

Logo still looks wierd to me. Apart from that, the HE has the correct placement for the 45mm.

The last pics helps a lot! Pearl looks completely centered. Orange has the correct hue too it (the reps are to 'orange').

If this is a 45mm PO with paperwork that matches, i say go for it. If its suppose to be a 42mm then run.
