    I am not sure ...maybe it's the angle of the shot ...but the bezel kinda looks a bit different to me ....

    I vote no good, coin edge looks wrong, arabic '6' isn't clean enough for my liking, date window is not sharp, but this all may be the angle/lighting/focus issues.

    Man I'm not sure. Most of it looks right but look at the pearl on the bezel, how it touches the sides of the triangle. Also, the Omega symbol on the dial looks like it thins in middle too much. I think the hour hand looks a little too big and the text doesn't look very sharp. Here's mine for example.

    I'm going to put my vote in the fake column as well. Two things stick out: the pearl on the bezel and the He valve placement. On my watch, and in the picture right above this post, you can see the He valve is placed differently than in your link. Also, the pic of the date window looks odd, but as noted above it could be the lighting. I would ask for more pictures, especially the case back. Good luck.
