    The Omega is gone, but the "Patek" is at $1009, with 17 bids.

    I sent the seller a polite message but I think reporting time is here.

    I have reported the "Patek".

    Anyone who actually thinks its a Patek Philippe deserves to get burned, its so obviously not.

    The pictures are not very high quality so it is difficult to say for sure, but the dial does seem bit odd to me too. It looks like the middle part has been glued on the top of original dial.

    The latest Seamasters are very difficult to spot, even when they are in your hands. The fake Cartiers are easier to spot as Cartier stick to a script with design and construction. I fear the reporting will continue to happen after the watch has been purchased and received. We must continue to ask questions of the seller, including asking for better scans. Paper work is the easiest to copy, so that means nothing. Fakes were once a bit of fun. Now, it's nasty and a major source of watch collecting heartache. The money amounts are often huge. I reported several fake Cartiers to Ebay some while ago. They were slow to respond. I informed the sellers first who either argued the toss, accepted the fact and took them off...or left them on. A few were removed by Ebay. Even if you are sure you are reporting a fake Omega to them, don't expect them to act accordingly. It's better to inform the seller that you are on to them first. The shame is that the sellers are often unaware that they are selling fake items.

    All---Horology_Chris is running a scam. I'm currently unwinding from it myself. He's selling an Omega Aqua Terra Rose Gold and a blue SMP.
