    Saw this item on eBay. A relisted item...don't know what happened, first buyer left positive feedback. Contacted seller asking if they had tested gold content and they said both case and deployment clasp was 100% 18k.

    Looks to me that it is 100% fake! I usually report to eBay to protect other buyers. Opinions???

    I've never seen Omega put the hallmarks on the outside of a case back nor put INCABLOC or the jewel count on a dial. If you see any of those on a watch your best bet is to pass on it.

    Wasn't considering bidding...just hate to see a novice buyer get burnt! I'll report to eBay and see what they do with it. Wouldn't hurt if other people reported it also if you have time.

    So, I was wrong to buy that watch? I thought "incabloc" was Swiss for "limited edition."

    Reported to eBay as a counterfeit:

    "I believe that this item is neither rare nor made by Omega".

    That's about all I can do with 100 characters,

    GONE - Sometimes you have to call them to get them to take action.

    Good!!! May have saved an unknowing buyer some grief. I reported it also, after going through several options in eBay's drop-down reporting system. Hopefully seller will not try to re-list (this was the second time it had been listed/sold)
