    Well they are creative, at least it used Omega movements. To me this one is actually better than several others I have seen. The thing that surprises me is folks buy these for real money, enough to actually buy a decent real Omega.

    They probably don't - keep checking eBay and you'll see these "sell" several times. Shill bidding is just one more game our favorite region's sellers indulge in.

    I don't really watch them close, I see them and the prices that are bid. Way to much if the bids are real. There are a lot of them...

    Makes me unhappy that the dials are not symmetric.

    The case work is pretty good. I wish I could get that locally.

    At least the advert is honest about the origins, it isn't fraud - not sure how you can report this sucessfully dslo.

    I think, it is an infringement of the Omega trade-mark.

    Thank-you.

    Yes, I expect you are correct, but I understood that Omega weren't part of the ebay program that polices this.

    I guess the swiss made on the dial is a big problem - they should have stated swiss movement, or something.

    I am now curious to see if it gets pulled.

    We can only speculate, as to reason/s why our respectable mod has lodged a report.

    This is not the case of a watch that comes with a refinished or reconditioned dial or, a watch that comes with the wrong winding-crown, etc. It is something more serious and it is beyond us.

    Thank-you.

    It certainly is. It says Omega on the dial. Perhaps more seriously, it is hideous.
