Guy asked me if it was real?

Hi, so a guy in work asks me to look at a watch he had been given by an old family member.

Although I like watches and I like reading I'm not good enough to look at a watch and immediately say yes or no if it's real.

What I did say to him was I've never seen a dial on a seamester PO pumpkin before. I also didn't have anything to take the case back off.

I'll get another look at it tomorrow but what you think, he seems very disappointed that I advised it may not be what he thinks

0001/5007...... Unlikely it's real, the fakes are always 0001 

Seamaster engraving looks poor quality, not straight etc very similar quality engraving to a DH gate rep I had years ago

Definitely a fake. Either that or it’s a probably valuable 1 serial number that ALSO looks like shite

So much wrong with this. 

It has sentimental value, better to just say you don’t know much about the brand and act dumb.

Its a Quantum of Solace Omega.  You would have to take the back off to be sure if it is rep or gen. They did reps of these, I've got the black one.

Did you steal NCRich's pool background? :lol:

Is the QoS printed/engraved on the crystal in the gen? Very distracting!

Nah mate- I have my own pool- not in use ATM as it is winter in my part of the world.

The QoS is printed on the crystal, in the gen as well by this video. I think they did a chrono pumpkin as well. The hobnail is supposed to be like James' gun handle.

Oh wow the printing is semi translucent and only visible at certain angles. Did not realise that as all I have seen are gate pics of the watch! 

Is the QoS very visible on your rep, like a gate Rolex LEC (the really obvious ones)?

I have the Seamaster 300M like one casino Royale and the other Seamaster in Spectre. Need to get back into Bond Omega Gate collecting :D

After having a look at that video and comparing SEL on the pic I’m going to say it’s a rep. SEL seem to protrude past the lugs in a way they don’t on the gen.

Guess you just gotta take the caseback off to be sure

I agree- I think it is a rep. Mine is number 0001 out of 5007 as well. 

@semperfi55 the QoS on the dial is there, I can't say I notice it much but it is there. Normally, I have to twist my wrist around to see it, a bit like spotting the coronet on a Rollie.

Cheers guys, pretty much what I expected. He hasn't brought it in today and he hasn't asked so I'll let him crack on and enjoy it for what it is.

Danjaq the company that trademarks the James Bond name or anything to do with the James Bond brand.  TM Danjaq is just trademark of Danjaq.
