    Came across this listing on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172373037539?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    $70 OBO seems like a good price for a Beads of Rice bracelet in good condition, yet it looks like these are not selling. Am I missing something?

    I also noticed that the "Omega" on the inside of the clasp is printed instead of engraved- is this normal?

    Thanks in advance!

    Poor photos, but I believe these are knockoffs. The fact that several are available makes me even more skeptical. YMMV.

    They are. I was stung with one of these quite some time ago. Note that the seller is careful only to claim that they fit Omegas and not that they are genuine.

    When I search eBay for things like this, I always take out words like "fits" from the search terms, as in

    omega band -for -fit -fits

    You'll miss a lot of bracelets that way. "Genuine Omega 1171 bracelet - fits Seamaster 176.007" for example.
