Isn't this a fake pretending to be a gen?

[watch.aholic]

Just saw this on watchrecon and I thought it was too good to be true..Having seen the pics, I thought the crystal does not have the clarity of the gen....besides look at the so called gen Omega strap....it's revealing far too much of the springbars....ain't it.....

This guy should be busted if he's selling a rep as gen....or is this really a gen?

It looks gen as far as I can tell but the strap is certainly not meant for a PO, likely a Speedmaster [hence the gaps (width being 20mm where the 45mm PO has a 22mm lug width)].

Remember, if you're in doubt stay away + buy the seller first, the watch second.

It looks gen, but could always be a franken. It looks like crap on that strap, though.

I agree with shirazi: Gen with the wrong strap.

Too expensive. At that price, you can find correct examples in better condition.

It's nice to see a Gen 45.5 PO w/o the globe on the caseback.....

Either a) It's an early PO that didn't have the anti-counterfeiting device or b) the photography is so crappy that we can't see it!

Poor photography is also why I don't think you can judge this watch based on the clarity of its crystal!
