Amazingly he has 100% feedback from 1400+ transactions. He has no idea what NOS really means. If it's used it isn't NEW, and that watch has been well used. And people are actually bidding on it.

Only 32 are sales, with most of those over a year old.

I just contacted this seller again and he told me he just sold the watch to Omega, it will be shipped out Today. going to Omega, he said he would end his listing

Listing was removed by eBay, NOT because the seller ended it. You can draw your own conclusions as to why.

That is strange, because he had said a few days ago he had been receiving multiple offers to buy his watch and he would end the listing for the right offer, he even claimed one of the offers was from Omega itself !! there have been some bids and some 50 plus folks watching that item yesterday! an amazing case here indeed

Be honest here - are you the seller?

What is amazing about it? It sounds like the typical stuff someone pulling a scam says to a potential buyer. I am guessing years ago the seller worked at a car dealership...

I'm unsure strange case, there have been like 20+ bids and some 50 plus folks watching, and at the same time seller was saying he wanted to end the listing because he got some offer, and some one was saying he got a perfect feedback, I'm just unsure about this whole thing LOL

Reported through a convenient side door, had a confirmation back to say that the listing was pulled.

Hmmm, This is an interesting one, the reference number on the case back 2990 and the movement cal. 267 seem to correspond to a Ranchero,
I recall I had seen at the Tonneau watch store a gold plated used Ranchero indeed, that was the only time I saw something similar to this

This is the best part of the story 😁😁 NOS....come on!! ::facepalm1::

Funny, according to EBAY rules this is not allowed. There were similar cases where sellers stopped an auction and had to refund the highest bidder.

And it's not what happened - eBay pulled the listing as the item was misdescribed.
