    Hello,

    I see always sellers on ebay, which offer fakes under the descriprion "Homage"-$BRAND$. I hate it, because just someone interested in watches needs some time to understand, but all the other people get the brandname and buy ...

    Also they use naming conventions of movements as "6497", this is intentionally feigning ..

    I propose to write a letter signed by the forum members to ebay on behalf - what do you think? The real watch enthusiasts create a very high turnover for ebay ... So they have influence, do you agree?


    I will pots this also on www.rolexforums.com/ and http://forums.watchuseek.com/


    Example: http://www.ebay.es/itm/Gruppo-Gamma...2-Luminor-Panerai-Homage-Watch-/282048637521?Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I think you might be better served posting this in the Open Discussion board since it's not about a specific seller. There are dozens of sellers on eBay who are guilty of this.
