Thanks for the replies. Can’t charge back as it was a direct funds transfer, but this is a reputable Australian dealer. I’m 99% certain it’s not fake. The movement has the correct jumping hour feature of the 8500 movement which I doubt even the most accurate fake would have.
I will give him a call on Monday, hopefully he is amenable to a refund - I’ve only tried it on and haven’t worn it around extensively. He also has another watch for sale around the same value so hopefully he’s more open to a return if I purchase another piece off him.
I doubt he’s trying to pull anything, he probably didn’t notice. As part of the listing he said it had been ‘recently overhauled by Omega’ but I would have thought that would have been a dismantling and rebuild of the original movement, not a straight movement swap. Either way, if I had known the serials didn’t match I wouldn’t have purchased it.
