Omega Men’s 2222.80.00 Seamaster 300M Chronometer

Is This a Real Omega, Or Are We Being Ripped Off?
I wonder if this is an authentic Omega Seamaster, not something made in Malaysia, or China. The seller (WatchMaxx) of course claims that it is. Does Amazon actually check the authenticity of the merchandise that they offer?A real Omega should work for generations, with periodic servicing, of course.I have a 1949 vintage Omega, which works great to this day.The “Seamaster”, or whatever it is stopped working, or at least stops and goes after only four years.Probably should have bought a real one at a real, authorized dealer. Paying the extra few hundred dollars would have made a lot of sense.As it stands, I have a very expensive, $2,542.50 paperweight.Very disappointing all around.Buyer beware

serial number was scratched off
I have been researching Omega Seamaster watches for couple of months, and went to several authorized dealers in my local area. They usually offer <15% discount + tax. So it would be around $2900 if I buy from them. I was impressed by the price Amazon offered (~$800 saving), although I know that Amazon is not an authorized dealer (therefore, the Omega warranty is void). I recieved the watch 2 days after placing the order. It is beautiful and same as what I saw from the local dealers. It came with authentic box and 3 cards (surprising! since I thought the warranty card would be missing. Of course, the card is not filled with proper dealer names etc. so it is void technically). Unfortunately, when I carefully examed the back of the watch, I found that the serial number on the watch was scatched off (or more precisely speaking: destroyed). I can see something, but it is fussy, and even with good magnification, you cannot read the numbers. So I cannot match the serial number on the watch to the number on the card. It is really disappointing. I trust Amazon and I think it is authentic. But without a serial number on the watch, it is difficult to justfy spending >$2000 on this watch. It would be really difficult for resale and even to get it serviced by Omega later if the watch needs an overhaul. So I had to return it. Another thing is when you return, you will have to use USPS insured mail and it is kind of inconvenient (I used to just drop off at UPS stores for other returns). Amazon does well for my return and they refund pretty fast after received the package (within one day), so I was pretty happy about that.Overall, it is a nice watch and I really liked it (5 star for the watch) and Amason service is good and return/refund is fast. However, be aware that when you buy from internet (even with trustful site like Amazon), there is still risks that the watch somehow is not the same (i.e. serial number not intact). Of course, it is a $800 saving. For someone who doesn’t care about the serial number, it is still the best deal. So be aware of the risk and make your own decision wisely. That is why I am giving it a 3-star rating.Hope this is helpful.

買って(使い始めて)すぐに、動かなくなってしまいました。無償修理に出します。完璧に直って戻ってきてほしいと思っています。

　３年ほど前に購入しました。今年で３年目です。相棒のように使っています。　コアクシャル機能が付属しているのに手頃な価格だと思います。　サイズはボーイズ用と記載されていますが、大人でも十分なサイズだと思います●ベルト　購入後、時計専門店で1000円を支払って調整をお願いしました。　ベルトは使い続けていますが傷はまったくつきません。留め具の個所のプレート（鏡面）が多少傷つく程度です。　●ケース　強度ですが仕事でガンガン金属製の物に当たってしまいますが、目立った傷はつかないです。　たいへん丈夫にできている時計だと思います。●誤差　多少ありますがパンフの通りの程度です。強い磁気がある環境下だと気が付いた時には５分程度ずれてしまいますが、　そういう環境でなければ問題なく性能を発揮してくれると思います。●備考　一度浸水しガラスの裏面に人のような指紋の痕がみえてしまって驚きました。そのあと業者に修理してもらいました。　指紋はきっと何かの気のせいだとは思っていますが…。●まとめ　３年目になりますが自動巻きかつコアクシャル機能が付加されているので最大１０年はオーバーホールしなくて済むとも言われるので、　故障は起こりにくい時計かと考えます。コアクシャル搭載自動巻き時計は高く評価します。　とても満足な時計だと感じたので、３年目をもって評価をします。こんなに良い時計を作ってくれてありがとう。　次に購入する時計もオメガにすると決めました。　

good watch with reasonable price. 2s faster a day
