Alright - hoping to get some feedback on this 2220.80.00 and knowing full well I may either A. get laughed at or B. have someone else buy this watch before I do because it is a good buy. Here goes:

I spoke briefly to the seller, Ian, on the phone a few minutes ago and he says that the watch is authentic. I have no real reason to believe it's not but I don't know how the date is listed as 2017.. the serial number is 81XXXXXX which would make sense and put it at mid 2000s as I understand it. My plan would be to hopefully overnight it to the nearest Omega Boutique to confirm authenticity as soon as it gets here, is this feasible? He is listed as a verified dealer and it comes with Trusted Checkout which as I understand it means if it is deemed not authentic I can return it through Chrono24.
He is going send me some better pictures this weekend and I told him we could go from there. Is this a classic example of jumping the gun when I should be waiting patiently for a more sure fire thing like C&C as I myself have said I'm comfortable with and others on the thread have confirmed may be prudent? Any input would be appreciated!
