Is this real or fake?

Sorry you must get loads of these but I have recently bought a gen (hopefully) PO 42mm. I only ask because I was looking in the for sale section and someone was selling a 42mm PO rep but I can't tell the difference between theirs and mine! I'm going to go to the AD to confirm anyway but just thought I'd get someones opinion on here first.

Thanks

The pearl looks good, but can't really tell on the Omega logo and if it has happy feet...

You need to post more pics of the watch and movement?

I was going to say post it to me and I'll check it out for you, but then looked more closely at the photo- where is the Omega trademark which should be located beneath the 12? Did it fall off, or is its absence because of the light in the picture? As Rudy says above, you need quality close up photos of the front, back and both sides and of the movement with the caseback removed to be reasonable certain. Good luck.

If that's a rep I'll take three.

Hopefully these are better pics.
How do i get the back off? What tool do i need?
There is a blueish tint to the AR, is that normal?
Does the He valve screw in and out on the rep because this one does.
And yes i have to box and papers as well.
Thanks for your help.

Looks real. Has the factory red dot on the back so has never been opened. I'm sure lume is like a torch but you want to check that hands and hour markers lume is same brightness. From memory AR looks normal.

Seems to me you should do some more research before buying a gen, especially if you were that hesitant about it being real.

Yes thanks really helpful now. If you read the beginning of the thread i did apologise and just wanted a quick answer because i saw a rep that looked more real than any of the reps i had considered buying. Surely you must have had a worry that when you have done all your research (which i did on reps which i why i decided to buy a gen in the first place) and paid a premium for something it's only natural to confirm it is was it says it is.

I'll say this, being seasoned, I would have brought it to the AD prior to purchasing it or as part of the agreement with the seller. It's the only real way to know mate.
