Hi everyone.

I would like to know your opinion on authenticity of my Ian Thorpe's autograph.

OK so that's my autograph:

It is a bit different from other successes so I was sure it is authentic. But it is 100% similar to the most recent success posted, to seb88's success.

What do you think?

Difficult to say. I cannot think a reason why OMEGA want to fake autographs. They can simply send out PP.

I get a Ian's autograph many years ago via an officer in his management company. She sent a Thorpe signed card to me.
As you can see, the part "Thorpe" has less "waves" in the middle. Maybe Thorpe just changed his auto. As the main sharpe is still consistent. I would say it is authentic.

I see your point now! Yes. I think your picture and member "seb88 "'s success are 100% match :( . The autograph and the position in the picture is exactly the same....

That could be a PP. Maybe they have run out authentic ones.

This is a close comparison of the two photos:
