    THIS IS FAKE!!!!!! FAKE FAKE FAKE. STAY AWAY.

    This is not just fake; but it is a scam.

    Spacefruit - can you please elaborate for the benefits of the membership? In the meantime, I have notified eBay.

    Darlinboy - thanks for posting.

    It hasn't been for sale for months! Wonder what happened to the scammer. Maybe he/she got sick.

    I just got done looking at it and then
    came here to warn. See there is already
    a thread. The dial is a FAKE! The hands
    are fake. The case looks fake to me also
    because the "Speedmaster" engraving is
    using the wrong fonts. Check out the
    "E" in Omega will tell you all you need to know

    Yes this old saw comes up on eBay about once every 4-8 months. Often it is just a scams sale of the same old images, no watch at all.

    Auction shows as ended with a winning bid of $7000, by a user with 854 feedbacks. A couple of bids cancelled, including one near $8k. Hope ebay took care of it and no one got screwed.

    For your info. I was the buyer on eBay to get the watch of eBay but today again it was on the net.

    My Message to Robert&William Kidd - www.William-Watches.com +1 (916) 742-6903

    Dear Mister,
    I don't accept your way of working and as send you today over the eBay-message. I would not pay for the watch because I do think I will loss my money because you are to quick by accepting my offer by a Speedmaster what has a Market Price of USD 20000.
    I have checked on the internet and can't find your website an Omni International Group inc. is also strang for me.
    I will send eBay an message to inform me about you eBay-Id also.
    So again I will cancel the deal on eBay.

    Thanks for the post MJm,
    Looks very much like one of the sophisticated Russian fraud websites.

    Paypal is going to lose a few hundred thousand before this runs its course if their fraud department does not catch on soon.

    You are correct, watch is back up.
    Send ebay the information about
    website, etc. and let them investigate.
