Fake vs. real PO.

This was just posted on how to tell between a fake Omega PO and a real PO. The differences are subtle but if you know what to look for you can avoid getting ripped off.

Good stuff Brian...Thanks!

I have heard that on the FAKES the He valve is DEAD ON the 10, while on the REAL ONES, is slightly off center of the 10...

Good old oscar's hev crown is not even close to the real one, the pip is all wrong and the date window is too small, also i think the 12 and 6 look off! Seeing a picture is tough but in real life these watches dont have the weight or presence of the real deal! think you could be taken buying a picture but if you had it in your hand you would pick up on it quite easily!

You mean my PO is fake...





OSCAR'S WRIST SHOT

Wow, I guess you really have to be careful ! These watches
are pretty close to the originals ! Unless you know to look
closely at the lume dot, and helium escape valve, you could
really make a mistake. Have to wonder if many never even
find out at all, or maybe find out if they go to get it serviced !
..Thanks alot for the link Brian !

I'm sorry to have to confirm Mark that your PO is indeed a fake. Wrong HEV (size, shape, and location), Lume Pip is wrong (size, location relevant to the triangle, etc.), the case is wrong (mirror finish, angle of the bevel, etc.), date window is off. More importantly, and quite frankly even scarier is an issue that I believe you will need expert professional help with, the fakeness of the watch appears to be spreading to your wrist. Unfortunately, you need to see your personal physician immediately because your wrist is definitely also now fake!

Trev,
At least you still retain the ability to write coherently! It's NOT too late to reverse this and get you well!

Man. What ARE you talking about? My watch says "UTC" on it. The Utc company made it and its a real Utc!

This to me is hilarious...I posted my Pam297 on his forum and he took my pics down saying that copies are not allowed on the forum...I laughed at him. I told him he is a loser and a jealous ass crack.....I have paper work and a receipt to prove it and bought it from a reputable business who specialize in pam's. We went back and forth and I really was pissed and told him what to do with his forum. I also told him to delete my account...What a jealous ass crack...I guess i didnt fit in the click...but who cares but this is total satisfaction...hahahahaha...I love this...lol

Sad that we all cant just get along. Lol. I have never really had any issues at that forum. I post infrequently butndo read once a day or more.

I agree with you Eric...and I'm sure many already know me by now. I am non confrontational and always keep out of trouble but this dude pissed me off real bad and totally disrespected me. What really pissed me off was how he was talking to me saying some crap that i was busted...what an effin loser he is.

Good for you Jack! That asshat questions your panny while he post a fake omega!

Thanks Trevor I appreciate that..This is total satisfaction for me and I would love to hear what he says about his fake azz omega...wow totally amazes me.

I would be pissed if someone did that to me totally. It would torque me.

Dude...it really pissed me off and I really went crazy...First time I have ever been questioned about anything I own...bye the way 9800 slider?

No comprende.

What gets me is how stupid did he think his membership was, that thing isn't close to being real! Since he is such a bigshot would hate to think he thought it was real, has horsetrack all over it but at least he hid the fake behind other watches not a big nice closeup of a fake PO!!

hahahahaha.....did anyone say anything to him? did he pull his own pics down? hahahaahahahaah

There's some thread over there in which he says a) he got it in a trade, b) it was in rough shape, c) he fixed it up by having it polished and putting after market parts on it........

Wow, all that work so it now looks exactly like a brand new Faux Omega.

Sadly Trevor the vast majority of the membership there are sheeple and just go along with what he says w/o questioning him or the mods whatsoever. If something is wrong I'm calling bs on it. I have a hard time believing that many people are afraid of calling him out on his shit.

I agree B, not like his site is all that! Hell give DWC or XMT a shot!
