There is not the TINIEST difference, other than wear, between the two bezels below (current eBay auction on top, timezone pic on the bottom). The implication for me is that if the eBay bezel is fake, it's so good that no one will ever be able to prove it's fake, so case closed.
According to Ofrei, an authorized Omega parts supply house:
Omega only Supplies Complete Bezels!
We have no bezel inserts available for Omega Watch Bezels
I agree it is suspicious that he produced copies (metal copies I believe) but i see no actual PROOF in this post.
For clarity, I do not know the seller, have no intention of buying it, I just don't like the way you are all ganging up on the chap.
Hi there, you super "EXPERTS" with your Sherlock Holmes ambitions...
All I am waiting for now is that Gunnar will add his clever ideas as well...;-)
Here are the pics of the original lot of 2915-3 parts I bought in 2011, including the bezel I am offering now.
Yes, the photos were bad. But the seller was very nice!
And yes, the condition of the bezel IS (not IF) too good to be true!!!

I must say it looks like a lynch mob here, I see no evidence that the black insert is fake, and just because he has produced no acceptable evidence (to the lynch mob) that it is genuine, you all say fake.
Surely the evidence is in the pictures, compare it with correct inserts and show the difference you lot.
None of you have proved it is a fake, you just say it looks too new.

For the record, the seller listed on Ebay metal base 1000 inserts (2915-1 and 2915-2) and black base 1000 inserts (2915-3, 2998-1 and 2998-2). To me, the bezel for sale matches the black inserts he sold a few months ago.
Why are these pics no longer accesible? Don't like what they show?

BTW, you guys do understand that my noting every variance here you are training him into making an even better reproduction in the future right? all he has to do is correct the 9, the dot distance, the blue hue and age it a bit more and count his money as it flows in.
Now enlarging we compare:
Are they the same?
Can different lighting, or dirt, account for these differences?
I think they could, but I am not an expert.
I think the buyers will decide.
This one is the one I'm having a hard time swallowing..
Seems to be a dent just below the 85 and a scratch at the 88 marker on the one in the smaller image.
Anyway, as Gemini4 said, it's about the communications. I'd still very much like to hear answers to the unanswered (and direct) questions.

Well, I guess I spent enough time here to know exactly where I definitely don't want to waist my time.
If you have any further questions of major importance, feel free to contact me via my auction.
For now, just keep studying tons of images to find out, what I already told you... 馃榾
CHEERS!
