What do you think about this? What caught my attention was the clasp. "E" on OMEGA. If you look at my comparison of Noob vs Gen, you can see that the "E" is different. In genuine horizontal "-" parts of "E" are as thick as the space between them. In rep the space is much wider than the horizontal part. I can see that it is similar as in this for sale. Also, what do you think about the pearl on the watch in the pics? Does it look to be sitting too low?

Here you can compare gen and rep "E" on OMEGA. Gen is on the left.

By first glance I thought the Gen was on the right side. But after reading the E on the Rep looks weird. Is this noticeable in real life?

Yes the gen is the used one and on the left. Not really a problem in real life but if you pay +400 euros for a rep bracelet, that is a problem. Seems like the seller ended the auction...is he here as a member?

Seems like we really need to be careful with these. I checked my old thread about BP vs genuine and noticed that the BP model has very similar OMEGA on the clasp as genuine has. You cannot see any difference in letter E. Luckily BP is not so good in other small details as Noob version or genuine. I could only find that one difference between Noob and genuine but much more differences between BP and genuine.

Thanks for the heads up, I am on the look out for a genuine Omega bracelet myself, for your old SMP ;)
