    Just got this and from what I can tell, it's legit. I remember seeing this inscription somewhere else? Any clue guys?

    UPDATE: The pics are from an eBay auction. I found the original sales post from this forum: https://omegaforums.net/threads/vin...oprof-600-ref-166-077-on-original-mesh.17038/
    The price I paid was half of what it sold for on the forum. So the watch is legit, its just that now, will I get scammed out of my money or what? I didn't send him $ yet.

    If you paid via PayPal you should be protected by buyer protection - just make sure you lodge your claim as soon as possible should you not receive the watch.

    I asked him for more pictures. If he doesn't have the watch he obviously won't be able to...

    Unless you bought it from someone who purchased it from Kirill.

    Well, ask him to set the date and time you want and take a picture of the watch.
    If seller has it, obviously you would get a picture, if not - simply don't pay.

    He didn't respond to my request to take a picture of the watch. He just brushed it off.

    I hate those scammers....Do they have a death sentence for them in international laws?)))
    Open the claim and report him, and be careful in the future.

    Movement is very worn. I sourced a newer one. New seals all around. Sucks some crackpot watchmaker gauged the dial :(

    Agreed, but I still like this watch aesthetically a lot.
