路So, how long do you reckon it will be before the buyer shows up asking about authenticity
Depends on how long shipping takes. 馃槣

路路惟F InvestiGatorNope, depends on the case maker. The style of casebacks on the 14.XXX can also be found on later models.
...Really? From those photos you could tell if the fonts were good? And MOY is always relevant?
This one is a classic fake that鈥檚 been around for awhile.
See the Rogue鈥檚 Gallery that starts on Page 14 of Desmond鈥檚 essay on Gold Constellations below:

Hope the buyer sticks it to the seller.

Ah, I think that's a reply to the first franken.
Interesting how they use the same easily distinguishable bad case backs.
But I think the biggest red flag was that they took off the case back and didn't take a picture of the movement, which is why the seller is most likely in on it... knows that its fake(and probably should be reported).

@gatorcpa I am referring to a comment regarding the first watch posted. Is that also a fake dial?

Let鈥檚 hope so because the blurb states it鈥檚 a 561.
So the buyer would have a case to return it ( that and the fact that there鈥檚 probably only a thin veneer of gold on the case)

can you help this noob re the Ebay watch which sold for $2850?
1. are there 2 different watches in the pics? Pic #2 looks like a silver-coloured watch, whereas all the others are "gold-coloured". Just poor photos?
2. the inner case back pic (#4) shows a hallmark for gold, but doesn't have an Omega ref number on it. Surely wrong?
3. the outer case-back pic (#3) looks terrible to me. Either seriously polished or just badly made?
4. no movement pic? Why remove the back cover and then not take a pic of the movement?
5. is the crown a fake or just seriously badly worn?
.....this is why I don't buy Omegas from Ebay....!

Poor photos and/or it鈥檚 inner base metal shining through

Yes
3. the outer case-back pic (#3) looks terrible to me. Either seriously polished or just badly made?
Badly made and badly designed (no brickwork)
4. no movement pic? Why remove the back cover and then not take a pic of the movement?
Who knows what is inside?
5. is the crown a fake or just seriously badly worn?
Both

The dial is also shonky - look at the lettering and the star - for starters.
Not all EBay watches are made this way - you鈥檝e just got to know what you鈥檙e looking at
