    Here's the url:

    I dont know enough about these to make a judgement but I'll give it a shot anyway:

    The minute and hour hands have my spidey sense tingling. Subdial hands are clearly newer replacements. The dial has some staining, which actually makes it seem more authentic. Bezel looks legit. Case seems quite thin, but I'm not sure about what they looked like when new.

    What are your thoughts, oh sages of speed?

    My thoughts are do not buy anything from this seller.
    I bought a watch from him that
    was not as described, ie it didn t work.
    I know others have had problems with watches he has sold. 100% honest he is not. He was banned from selling on here too.

    Wasn't the seller a big fan of paper clips?

    Yes, the seller is well known for being less than above board. He also straight copied @Pahawi's opener and started selling those.

    All that said, I'd be curious if anyone could drop some knowledge about how they'd evaluate one of these regardless of seller.

    The regulator seems to be adjusted a wee bit to one side. :eek:

    Enough said, $75k can be far better spent.

    Even a total noob like me can see that those movement parts did not all leave the factory in the same watch. Also note the carefully worded ad "guaranteed 100% Omega" . No doubt true but deliberately disingenuous I would suggest.
