    There are always scammers on eBay, but I havent seen anything like this so far. Someone in China, or at least that is location listed, has taken a bunch of sold, or listed vintage Omega watches, listed them as his own, and put BIN price of $25-$30. All of them sold. When I saw 1st one I thought, only 1 watch, $30, too much work for such small amount, but then I kept seeing more and more of them.

    Seller in China, luxury watches for pennies on the dollar, and with zero seller feedback. What could possible go wrong?

    From one of the item descriptions: Will not ship to anyone deemed "shady"

    Could be a shill account that's producing fake transactions before they do some real damage down the road with a true fake....

    Welcome to eBay.

    I have a weird rule that I never buy anything online with one photo. If you want my money then you have to be willing to show what it is you're selling.

    He also had a quartz CWC Chrono listed with the photo and description lifted directly from a current listing, I tried to alert eBay but they don't make it easy!!

    Good point. I didnt think of that, but it would make a lot of sense. There are several more that he just listed as well for similar prices.

    I love it!
    "The only reason that I'm selling this is because my significant other got me a watch and I would rather wear what she got me than my Seamaster, so it's time to pass it to someone else."
    The watch from the significant other must be a $28 Rolex from the other Chinese seller! LMAO!:)
