Heads Up: Fake Planet Ocean Jan 21, 2006 - 11:00 AM Hi everyone, I just saw this watch on an auction website. It seems to be a fake Planet Ocean from the pictures. I wanted to bring them to everyone's attention. I hope this can help someone who is in the market to buy a PO to stay clear of similar fakes. Lightspire PS: These pictures are linked directly from the auction website and will dissapear when the auction finishes. If possible, someone may wish to archive these and keep them in the Omega Archives. The "tells" from these pictures that this PO is a fake are: the Omega symbol is thinner and taller than on the real PO date window font is incorrect orange number font is incorrect case has incorrect polished and brushed surfaces orange bezel color is different bezel notches are neither scalloped nor squared fake bracelet has squared links vs the rounded links of the real PO fake bracelet links have unpolished ends fake crown is too short and sits flush with the case the caseback is flat without the textured design of the real PO no serial number or factory sealed red dot is present on the back of the watch You can compare the above fake pictures with the following pictures of the real PO from the Omega Archives
