    I contacted the seller asking if he/she could provide pictures to demonstrate this watch is a LE, but got no response. Then by simple googling I found the seller simply lifted the description of the watch from another auction:

    Looks like a perfectly ordinary early 90s 145.022 with a bit of inaccurate engraving on. The seller probably believed the story he was given about it.

    Who is velen7 ?

    okay I'll bite...

    How come?
    I really do plead ignorance on this one. Doesn't it say "2000" on the side? Photo is way overexposed, but what can you expect from a seller in the camera business?

    I wonder if I should sell cameras under Vlad's Watch Exchange? ;)

    If it was correct then the 2000 you can see in the photo would be placed in the upper third of the case, not in lower part as on this one. Also it originally came on a 1450/808 bracelet, not the one pictured which came slightly later.

    The second listing is the one the text was copied from, the first one that Joe K. was complaining about does not have any number and does not even have an Omega bracelet but comes with a very exclusive Orient bracelet ;) (At least with 516 end links)

    Ah. On Tapatalk only the second link is showing.

    My comments are on the second watch, which still looks a bit suspect.

    I tap the post and tap "Quote" (as if to respond), and the full post will show.
    1) You probably knew that;
    2) As it showed on Cr...err...TAPatalk, there was really no way to know there was additional info in the post.

    To clarify - the first link is to the listing that copied information from the listing linked at the bottom of my post.
