A lot of legit checks being asked recently regarding watches/parts originating from this vendor.
Watch out for any of this garbage attempting to be passed off as OEM - its all fake and its all over eBay right now.

Fake Omega Dynamic Geneves, Seamaster 120m build kits, Omega bracelets, cases, dials, etc.

Quote: "WE ARE SUPPLIERS TO 80% OF EBAY WATCH PART TRADERS,LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY"

Avoid like the plague.

Same sort it of thing Raffles Time used to sell out of Singapore. All fake junk but convincing enough to trap the unwary or greedy on eBay.

Do you think either Omega or their local trading standards take an interest ?

Why all the fake Dynamic parts?

It’s like faking parts for a Pontiac Aztek

I checked the website, I don’t think he sells “fake”, he’s being transparent about which parts are after market and which part is refinished (like a polished case) and a relumed dials, actually the cases he sells for Seamster 120 are legit polished cases but the bezels are after market (fake), the original case has notches on 3 and 9 o’clock while fake ones doesn’t and you can see the notches on his refinished cases, actually he basically wrote in the description that everything in his kit is aftermarket (fake) except the dial and the case

Rubbish.

These cases? They’re completely fake.

Wouldn’t happen to have an interest in this company would you?

A thread from the depths?

5 years, five months and five days ago, I wonder what triggered this response?.

I don’t have interest in his company, I stumbled upon it because I was looking for a refinished or good condition dial for seamster 120 ref 135.027
And he is the only that seems to have it and I saw the kits and to my eyes the cases looked legit (except for the bezel) polished case, I mean I’m no expert other than the watch I have and I couldn’t tell the difference, I wonder how people can tell, even the forum here the only sign they pointed too is the notches and his case have the notches

What bollocks is this? First you say you don’t think he sells fake parts, then describe 2 fake parts. You won’t make friends here if you are an apologist or promoter for a faker.

Oh and another thing, if you really can’t see any difference between your watch and the stuff shown there, that suggests to me your watch is fake too.

Well, I thought here someone can help me finding a dial but it looks like you’re interested in mocking more than explaining how would someone tell fake from real.
