Fake Planet Ocean from legit FL jeweler on eBay
Man... this fake is an insult to fakes. Really uncool to see crap like this.

Could you tell me what was particularly fake about that watch? I don't know too much about Omega pieces but it's a little scary that a reputable dealer someone let this one slip through.

Not to seem cocky - but once it is pointed out, as I saw on a different forum, it is obvious.

This is shocking stuff. I would have thought that a trusted seller would know a genuine from a poor fake. It's not even a decent fake.

Helium Escape Valve, usually aligned improperly on bad fakes.
