I probably should have visited here before buying an item, but here we go ...

I am new to vintage Omega watch collecting. This item caught my eye and I bought it:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251610862824?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Should i be worried this is a fake?

Quite a lot is an understatement 😀

Quite a lot is an understatement 😀

...And over priced by about 2X.

Don't feel too bad, most of us have made a mistake, you usually learn after the first one.

I think the folks at OC Watch Co must be sweating bricks, learning they have another identical marketeer for competition.

I also think they use the same photographer based on the appearance of the pics on both sites 😉

Hey, come on, cheer up! It's only like hitting a triple bogey on the first hole. It's annoying, but you must think that there are 17 to go, before you can summarize the first round, in the GTG in he bar on 19th. 😀
