Very fake... Just a quick google about the cal 8500 would take any of your doubts away

And it should have a Cal. 8900 not 8500, and the case back is wrong. It should be scalloped.

Just to be clear, has anyone come across a good looking fake 8500 movement? That’s seems to be the major flaw in all of these watches. Considering I only buy watches on Craigslist, I guess I should probably be more careful. I’ve seen one that looks spot on apart from a few gold accents. I’ll try to find pics


Edit... couldn’t find what I was looking for, but I found this that with a quick glance looks (to me at least) real. Scary stuff

The seller sold a similar watch about 6 months ago and got negative feedback. Just check his feedback. He knows what he is selling which makes it much worse in my opinion.

Man the mid levels are getting scary. Outside the movement there are some tells. Odd the laser etched serial but not the "seamonster"

...also reported, this watch and the other one he sold.

Yeah, I was surprised when I was able to report to watch the other day after the sale has been completed

On eBay people get away with blue murder, buyers and sellers alike. And eBay, with all their fancy rules and conditions, keeps facilitating these c#%&s. Even in the event when it is very obvious their rules are being abused they won't take any action as long as they get their share of the transaction.

You would have to be gullible to buy an Omega from Russia, IMO.
