Fake case, dial and hands.
Fake markings.

Movement appears genuine, but probably too early for a WWW.

Movement with Omega import mark for United States on a "British military watch".

What a joke.

Just noticed who the seller is.

Even bigger joke.

Did you report it Joe?

Is that another one of VisionVintage's eBay IDs?

Yes, but would be good if others reported it as well.

I'm new to the milwatch game, but it looks totally off.

Good catch, missed that one. The serial # I believe is out or range for these.

Not vision vintage as I've learned, but another to be cautious of... thank you to the senior members for the tipoff.

That there appears to be a POS FAKE Seamaster 166.027 on the same ebay seller's site.

I saw that, what a crock. That poor hippocampus deserves better.
