    I would add, careful having a pawn shop opening a case back.. If they cause damage to the watch, then regardless of the authenticity, you may end up as the new owner...
    Take the watch a reputable watch dealer for confirmation and get it verified. That should ease your concerns..

    The watch was shipped by FedEx. I checked the tracking number. I found that the item was shipped from Malaysia to China and then transferred to Singapore. I think the watch was picked up in China, then transferred to Singapore. That's why they ask for the high postage. According to the action page, they wrote the item was going to shipped from Singapore. It is a lie as well. If the item was picked up in China, how did they know if it is authentic or not?

    sorry but seems to me that you are just tilting at windmills.
    Also most people would do research before. At worst if you are unable to return it, take it as a noob tax.

    But constructively, do take a pix of the movement and underside caseback and show us. A better pix too for dial, etc

    Seems like OP trusts the pawn shop more than the Omega experts here.

    More crap.

    The other "fake watch" feedback from the German person is sour grapes.
    The watch is a genuine Omega Seamaster Polaris.
    The watch has been redialled, as was clearly explained by the seller.

    And where is the sneaky subterfuge in that description?

    Anyhow, the eBay seller has a few hundred positive feedbacks and that speaks volumes.

    It's real unfortunate that sour grapes and uninformed noobs leave negative feedbacks just because of some misinformation or error on their parts.

    How do you know this is not a fake watch? Pictures on their auction page might not have been taken from the watch I got. Or it might be a Frankenstein watch, where genuine Omega parts were used but it was not assembled by Omega workers.
    Or the seller might have taken parts from other Omegas and have assembled the watch by themselves. Either way it is a fake watch.

    Anyway, the item location was not true.

    The seller has a few thousand positive feedbacks, but most buyers don't leave negative feedbacks if their problems are resolved. And the seller sold mostly watch parts on ebay. Few Expensive watches were sold.

    We still haven't seen any pictures of your "fake" watch.

    Put up or shut up.

    The seller wrote that the watch still shines like new and looks new to our naked eyes, but the surface in the Omega mark area on the bracelet was rubbed as you can see the pic, It did not look like new to my naked eyes. Plus the item location was not correct. The seller was not honest about information they give to buyers.

    The seller was selling another Omega watch, the needle of which was colored by him or someone else. The seller sells a lot of Omega parts. That' why I think this watch was assembled by the seller and it has no market value.

    Then send it to me. I will happily pay for the postage.
    How old are you by the way, around fourteen?

    A Frankenstein Omega is far worse because it uses 100% original factory parts to build a watch that was never designed by Omega. For instance, you can have a case from the 50’s with a movement of the 40’s.

    Some say, that a marriage watch is one built from components from different watches, but of the same brand. Some say it's a milder form of calling a watch a franken.

    This is not a fake or a franken, until you provide pictures that show it as such.

    Nothing here is screaming fake.

    Something, however is screaming buyers remorse.
