How about this one? It's from a different account, but photos are eerily similar.

A 145.022-69 with a 24m serial? Something's up...

Another good spot Achim, it is truly horrible.
Lets see who is the first to see some truly bad stuff going on here

Another good spot.
These two watches are cobbled together frauds.
It isn't just a question of one or two issues, these are frankens.

I'll be the first newcomer to the Speedy industry (here) to offer up the DON, 225/220 bezel, which looks suspect based on what I've discovered on this site. 🙁

I'm sure this watch or these photos have been banded about for several months.

Where'd you find a DON / 220 bezel? I've gotta see this

I could have sworn I saw both 220 and 225 on the bezel in the link you provided. However, after looking again, I obviously didn't see the 220.
My mistake aside, he bezel does strike me a fake though. The color of the print looks wrong.

Is that first one even an Omega Case? It could be the pictures, but the lugs look short and down turned.

The bezels are a good catch - they look like they have been repaired, polished or coloured.

Is it even worth reporting this kind of issue to eBay?

What struck me about the 145.022 I posted is it looks like the movement serial number's first digit was ground out and replaced with a 2, to make it seem earlier than it really is - probably originally a 4

On that first one, pushers look bit. The case is reshaped. Is that caseback singled stepped? Look like it's been flattened down.

I think the dial has been cleaned too, that text looks super white!
