I saw this little old Omega for sale on Etsy.com. There is only one available and it’s only 900.00. Grab it while you can...

Has got to be a scam. Anyone recognize the images as there can’t be many of this reference floating around.

Photshopped images and non symmetric bridge. Issues galore. You would be an over optimistic idiot to buy this.

I'd just leave it at idiot, the seller is "only" charging 20 USD to ship from.... Russia.

Looks like it could be images from Cars and Watches, I recognise the photograph style and also perhaps the pictures themselves.

What, you mean that 1957 2915-1 that I bought yesterday from Belarus for $99.95 was a fake? Dammit ...

I've seen a number of Omega's on Etsy recently like this - ludicrously low prices for what they are, but still a chunk of money to be scammed out of. I have no idea what the buyer protection is like on Etsy.

And rolexes. I see them on Etsy with similar listings. I think I asked one of the sellers a question and never got a response. I don’t know why Etsy doesn’t stop these things, well ya I guess they want the listing fee but it’s really turned me away from their site. I don’t own Etsy stock but I see it’s done very well during the covid times. Rather upsetting they let this stuff continue.
