I don't get it. Who is paying this much for such garbage?

    Private auction with hidden buyer identities says Mr. Shill and his 15 Ukrainian cousins were all bidding on this one hoping to hook a poor Noob

    I'd say they are too embarrassed to let people know they are bidding against themselves...

    My favorite part is the "People who viewed this..." section at the bottom!

    General question: Do these get pulled by eBay if several people report them as fake? They should. This one is incredibly bad.

    Just playing devils advocate, at least the seller isn't claiming this piece of shit is original. They do clearly state it's an old pocket watch movement with a new case and dial.

    I remember the old days when you could see the name of the bidder and check and see what items he actually bid on to see if a shill or not.

    I remember when a guy bid against me on a pair of little Wittnauer All Proof models. Cost me $50.00 more, but guy only had two previous bids and those were on Beatles items. Figured a friend of the seller. Even emailed the Bast'd and asked why he bid on such an obscure 1920's item.

    Bidders hidden my ass. More like bidder aka friend

    I think the propeller makes it perfect for people like me who live in a tropical country. We need to cool our watches, you know!

    It's really simple: put Omega on anything add word vintage and here you go....There were few others from Ukraine across the bay, same garbage different styles.

    But it isn't a FAKE. It's a put together, but it is a genuine omega movement
