OMEGA Blue Presentation Box
Hi lads, I was surfing through a local Buy/Sell type website when I came across this speedmaster which took my fancy, but I am a little put off by the presentation box and papers etc.
I am only basing this on my recent purchase of a seamaster that came with hard plastic warranty cards, a phone book sized instruction manual, and a very attractive red presentation case.
So my question is ....Does this look real ? , do Omega also do a dodgy blue case with a leaflet for instructions and a paper looking warranty card....( watch is claiming to be 2008)
Opinions welcome....

please ignore cloning at end of photo....that was me just getting rid of website details.

If its from 2008 it doesn't look right.. though Omega do do special presentation boxes for some models - the warranty cards are usually standard and the instruction manual the hefty complete hardback
Re: OMEGA Blue Presentation Box
That's a pukka Omega presentation box, booklet and warranty card.... but from the 1990's.
Certainly a lot earlier than 2008, defo!

Cheers for the heads up lads...

I concur with Mike W. on it being 100% AUTHENTIC OMEGA, the aspect that you need to understand is that box is NOT from 2008 original factory issued stock - meaning it was produced for Omega watches of an earlier era, hence b/p NOT original to the specific watch - but that is not a big deal if you are going to wear the watch and not particularly buying it as a collectible.
Good luck!
Re: OMEGA Blue Presentation Box
I`ve had a fake box in that style recently.
Definitely a 90s box; not sure how you tell the age of the watch with modern Omega numbers. If you post the first 4 digits of the serial no. someone may be able to help by comparing to a watch of known age. I have a Sept 2004 Speedy reduced I`ve owned from new and it's 5868----
Hope this helps

Re: OMEGA Blue Presentation Box
definitely 90's Omega accoutrements - this is the full kit for my 1993 pre-Bond (plus a few extras from a Bienne re-furb):

Re: OMEGA Blue Presentation Box
Real omega box but like the card, they probably correspond to an older watch. The owner probably lost the box and cards and bought another
