Reported this item, contacted seller and what did they do...simply relisted identical original listing. I've reported both listings. Please report the one still open and "watch" to see if they relist again without changing description!

Here's the first listing:

I have reported it too. Let's hope a few more reports, together with comments that the listing has been removed before, may produce the desired result.

 

Seller is being obnoxious because I reacted a little harshly when item was relisted so quickly. Seller stated "FYI it was relisted prior to your innuendo because I had errantly listed it for 5 days as opposed to an intended 7, which was the basis for my relisting." Even so, it has not removed.

 

Also reported.

 

+1.......those fakers and scammers ....

 

No, through messaging with seller, he realized it is fake. Listed based upon one that sold recently for $500! Think this was truly a case of ignorance or wishful thinking. Couldn't stop that one in time, but hope seller and buyer sorted it out quickly!

 

But a little irritating when they know it's a fake and then try to pass it off to an unwitting buyer. Let's see if it gets relisted again or not.

 

I had a couple of conversations with him and politely pointed out the problems with his watch.
He seemed to be reasonable and said he was withdrawing it.
Time will tell.

 

How's this for now? Will start new thread to see how many people know which reference this case back is exclusively for?

 

Reported!

 

Here's another to report. Modern model this time.

On a similar note, there are a couple of sellers on eBay who regularly list Omega DeVilles as 'Andrew Grima' watches. Andrew Grima was a fashionable jeweller who did design some watches for Omega, but not this one – I know, because I wrote to his daughter and she was unequivocal about it. But then Omega were seemingly casual about taking his designs and making them their own, at least that's how it appears to me.

Grima did some wild designs in conjunction with Omega in the 1960s, very much of the time. Omega then spun his designs into the Jeux d'Argent series - but they were not his designs, but merely 'inspired' by his designs. Not for the tastes of the Omega fans here, I should think, but I've posted one of the more extraordinary designs he did actually do here, to give some sense of the unique work he did at the time.

From Primavera Gallery: "One of Andrew Grima's most important commissions came from the watch company Omega in 1969, when he was commissioned to create a very special collection of watches. The collection was cleverly titled ABOUT TIME. It consisted of 85 pieces - fifty watches and thirty-one matching pieces. For the watches, each had a crystal made from a semi-precious stone, rather than glass." And this last point is how and where the claim gets slung around the 'Bay, as Omega did then do a range of DeVilles with cut glass style sapphire crystals - but he didn't design them.

Still awake? Back to happyhappy9877: that's not even to drone on about their redialing, etc. I did contact them about these repeated misattributions, but they affected not to understand the point and frankly, it's too subtle a point to make with eBay, I think. Or maybe not - you tell me.
