How do you report items? I've never done it?

Also, do we usually also contact the seller?

 

1) Click on "Report Item" on the right side of the listing just under the seller information

2) In the first drop down box "Report Category" select "copyright and trademark"

3) In the second drop down box "Reason for Report" select "Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer"

4) In the third drop down box "Detailed Reason" select "Counterfeit, fake, or replica items"

5) Click on the blue Continue box

6) In the Brief Description box type in a short sentence calling it a fake

Voila!

 

Reported! My first time.

 

However in this case the dog-leg lugs are present. Is the case real or a better fake?

 

Note on the first photo how the edge (chamfer) on the jewel hole is gone, this is because the bridge has been ground down so a new caliber number could be engraved, also note how shallow the engraving is. A 552 is a much easier movement to come by than a 551 so this is likely what was used to create this monster.

Second photos shows how it should look.

 

We'll see if a call to eBay Trust & Safety does any good.

 

GONE!

 

That would be the people behind the scenes that do care and want things like this off the site.

They may be money hungry whores, but having counterfeit goods is a black eye and they really
don't tolerate it.

 

Thank! Got it

 

Chamfering = countersinking. (sort of)

 

Oh dear...wanted to buy a vintage watch and went to a recommended seller - a proper watch shop. Eventually decided against gold and more delicate gold mechanical winder, and bought a Constellation Piepan automatic with date, late 50s/early 60s (allegedly) that I can wear all the time. Only now came across this forum and realised I had been rather reckless....
In particular, my watch looks in too good a condition to be true! No patina on the dial
Even so, I checked out a lot of the signs of fakes, and haven't found anything glaringly obvious....crosshair alignment, hand alignment, lettering....even the little Omega etched in the centre of the front crystal is there....so perhaps it's an Omega restoration? Or a very well assembled rehash from other models.
I'll send the pics and see what you experts say. Sorry, I am so green that I don't even know how to open the watch back, so have no pics of movement.
Thanks for your comments...but please don't mock me too much for my lack of experience! I hadn't realised the depth of technical expertise that such sites offer. So, much appreciated!
Now for the good news: I am v happy with the look of the watch, and it keeps excellent time!
Ignorance is bliss ;-)

Looks like a very nice 168010.
Does it have quick set date?

Only wrong thing is the second hand, generic and a bit too thick.

 

Agree

Lug chamfers are nice and sharp. Looks like a late 168.010
