Can you ID this watch for me?

[PassingThrough]

I tried to look in the gallery but there are so many of them, and some are similar but not quite the same.

I'm interested in the model name of this watch, possibly the year, and the also current value of this particular watch - and of course any other interesting things you can tell me...:thanks

Most people on this forum know a hell of a lot more then me about these modern omegas, but just looking at movement I would say with some certainty that that is not an authentic Omega movement. This is not an authentic Omega.

It's a fake. Looks as though it's made by the same company that makes 'CTI' watches (Notice the back in the following photo)....

No "Professional" or "300m/1000ft" on the dial...

No He valve...

Crown guards are wrong and crown too short...

Only model of that type with display back is the Co-ax GMT...

The list goes on...

As long as you're just passing through...

You're not kidding...while we're at it:

Hands are too short

Pearl on the bezel is misaligned

Hollow end links

Shabby, folded link bracelet

No "Swiss Made" on the dial

"Automatic" Chronometer should be "Professional" Chronometer on the dial

Anything else?

That looks to me to be a Chinese ST16 movement, I could be wrong but the Chinese mechanical forum will be able to tell you for sure.

I'm really sorry that you appear to have been the victim of a scam, If you purchased using ebay, paypal and a credit card then you need to get in touch with your card company, explain your situation and ask if they can help you do a 'chargeback'. you must also open a grievance with ebay but they are pretty useless in these situations.

If, however you have deliberately bought this as a fake then try looking at Alpha next time. They are dirt cheap, not actually fakes and far less rubbish than they should be. I'm afraid you will find that the timekeeping and longevity of fakes is, well, karmic. Why would a fake manufacturer worry about the buyer once they have made the sale?

Good luck

not too mention the bracelet has the wrong clasp

If it helps, here is a photo of a quartz version of a genuine white seamaster borrowed from a reliable eBay seller.

Ha! You guys are having too much fun here...I can see you guys are really into this, so I'm glad I came to the right forum...

I didn't buy the watch but it was given to me as collateral for a small loan a couple years ago... less than $200...so I guess I have a nice expensive fake watch now...:-|

Thanks for the info, since I don't know anything about these watches (until now) in fact I don't really wear watches for the most part...I impress my girlfriend with my ... never mind :think:

Damn too bad it was a fake either way...

Yeah I though I'd just be passing through, so I'm just passing through...Later guys

Now that's a bad ass blender, a little pricey, but well worth the coin. Especially if your into marbles. Love to see a video starring that fine timepiece. Thanks Joe............David

Anything that will blend golf balls ought to take care of a Margarita

just a thought.

It looks like an awesome machine.... The only thing it can't blend is Chuck Norris...
