Gen Omega SMP?

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to buy a Seamaster, and I stumbled across this one. Here are the pictures:

Do you think it's a rep or should I buy it?

If you look closely at the bezel insert the pearl should be in line with the 'pointed' bit of the bezel along with the numbers and indices. On the bigger photo it shows them as being on the flatter part which is indicative of a rep. The other photos aren't clear/big enough to look for 'tells' though...I'd avoid it personally...

Heres an image of a gen for you to compare. Notice the position of the pearl in relation to the outer bezel to see what I mean. Another 'tell' on reps is the placement of the HE valve, the small crown on the left, see how it's slightly above the 10 o'clock position, this is seldomly correct on reps...

The pearl is a zit, the He valve is off. This was being sold on the bay as a gen? Amazing. Stay the F away from that.

I'd report the Bozo if I were you cambridge57, how much is he asking? Post the link and he may be asked some pertinant questions... :wink:

He's selling it on Overstock.com. I've reported the auction. Thanks everyone for the input!
