A few months later, the OP watch is back, with Seller stating "I had listed this watch in March and was advised to reach out to Omega, but after waiting for a few months, there has been no response from Omega." You'd think with thousands of dollars on the line, this person could wait a few more months for the museum to be up and running...
I have dealt with this seller in the past, and he has not been shy about taking certain "liberties" with descriptions.

I guess he have gotten the EoA and it was not what he wanted, I have received several ordered both in March and April.

·Serial number looks in range and the chrono hand looks a correct length.
It is interesting that the seller has no mention of "Ultraman" in the listing. From the looks of his eBay and IG, he looks like a watch person, so I doubt he left it out accidentally. Perhaps he knows something we don't...
Thought it's a bit out of range?. An inch is as good as a mile!.

·Something I'm not clear on - is the ultraman just the exact same as another reference, but the chrono seconds hand is different? are there any other differences?

Pretty sneaky listing though. Find a 145.012 that's close to the accepted range, put an orange hand on it, don't explicitly mention ultraman in the listing and let people come to the wrong conclusion. As-is with the way the listing is worded it would be difficult to claim he actually lied, but it seems like he's done just about everything short of that to mislead potential buyes. He included just enough info for a knowledgeable collector to know it's fake, while creating enough ambiguity to fool someone less experienced into overpaying. All he needs is to fool two people into thinking they're potentially getting a steal.

·Up to 12k with 5 hours left, so if we're assuming nefarious intent it's clearly worked.
We're well above market for a 145.012 of that quality.

·I suspect the high bidder will bail during payment and we will see this watch again.

·$14,900 USD was the winning bid after 66 bids.
Either bidder won’t pay, or we will see it here soon along with questions from the new owner...

·Very interesting thread.
I don't know if I should have started a new thread for this "Another Ultraman". I figured we might as well extend the discussion on this piece here.
Hand looks right length. It is specifically mentioned as "Ultraman" , however no mention of EoA. Hand looks about right length and serial is spot on (to the 5th number, rest hidden).
I wonder why there is no mention of EoA, that would help the sale alot imo.

Lume is non-existent or blotchy/damaged both on the dial and the hands and the DON bezel is chipped but still would sell probably easily with a EoA.
P.s. I have no affiliation with that site and do not insinuate that anything is wrong(originality-wise) with the watch, just expressing my thoughts on it.

·Is this is a newly discovered watch, then it is probably due to this:

Thread is from March. So no, it's not new watch. And sport rolexes knows what he's got and what he's doing.

I think it's "new" as it is still available on their site. I am half curious to contact the dealer and ask for more photos and about the EoA.
