    Big big fake, keep away or you'll get stuck with a dud.

    It's rubbish and you'll lose all of your money, don't even bid or the zombie computer bots will track you and hijack your eBay account and send millions to Nigeria, and heaps of other bad karma will hit you.

    Oh, damn, 10 bidders already.

    Oh well, go for it.

    Allow me to show you how this is done:
    Hi all, my name is JKAY and I'm new to the forum. I like long walks in the park, White Zinfandel and vintage Omegas. I found this Seamaster, ref. 166.032, or is it 166.023, that has caught my eye. I have compared it to examples I have found here and elsewhere on-line and it looks good to me. According to the OVD, all looks good, too, but I would appreciate second opinions.
    Thank you in advance,
    JKay

    Tried to walk the line between humorous and disgusting.

    Hello mate. Hope you are well.
    1st bit of advice: find a nice picture and post a lovely Avatar. (They like that on here and that grey, question mark, blank Avatar drives the serious experts mental) It gives the impression that you only have a casual interest in horological matters.

    2nd bit of advice: If you take some high resolution photographs showing different views of the watch and add as much information as you can the vintage chaps will help you with your enquiry.;)
