    My favourite part was when the (now) infamous "Chris" was revealed to be non-existent - apparently nobody called Chris works for STS - the source of the equally infamous prototype confirmation became "Mark" in JR's next post.

    In a way, I feel sorry (not) for jrpippen as he has been vilified throughout the entire watch world. Perhaps ev3rclear will give him a job in his horological empire.

    Ha ha, damn it i've been rumbled again.............. I have a confession to make to all my fellow forum member...........................

    My name is Tom and I am an Omega addict, I have been an addict for ten years now and although I have tried really hard to kick the habit I simply can't. My addiction was fuelled by living not 1/2 a mile away from STS for over five year, I have tried to break my cycle of addiction, going as far as to move hundred of miles away to land locked Nottingham but alas I keep being drawn back o the shiny ticking precious things

    One things for sure, there isn't a Chris working at STS, although I am sure in Mr Rippens eyes that the least of his problems right now, I think there is someone over on TZ drawing up a list of well known RAF trombone players so they can narrow it down and nail him to a cross in person! Silly silly chap

    Jim, don't take it personally about the mean TZ comment buddy, we all love you over here!

    The post hasn't been removed from TZ, it has been moved to the hero's and villains section, which is only visible by registered members, it's also still raging like the towering inferno, running to page 9 at the moment and counting! Sad state of affairs but the other thing with TZ is that those boys do like a damn good witch hunt

    TZ boys are still in primary school on the witch hunt subject.

    I remember this one as an internet train wreck.

    His ad isn't too bad, until I got to this line.

    "Returns accepted should watch be a fake. Which of course it isn't. It comes with an omega warranty!" ::confused2:::confused:::facepalm2::

    Well, when you have hit rock-bottom, the only way is up and you know you have hit rock-bottom when the only forum on which you can show your face is WUS.

    I just checked his listing and it's unchanged. Though he should change it. Although he uses the word "warranty" instead of "guarantee," he's implying that the watch isn't fake and that Omega somehow backs that up. Don't see how Omega as a company has anything to do with this watch. Oh well, let's hope that if anyone bites they do their due diligence.

    Assessing price on these is tricky but 1,519 GBP plus 100 GBP shipping?? Seems awfully high to me.
