    Warning! I bought this constellation from ebay and I told to eBay. I returned the item and he refunded me the money (this Saturday) and today I see that he has posted again it on eBay. Watch out folks!!!! I paid 1300€ and he haven’t change a thing. His name on eBay is Ambreenmayat 3D37A684-1CA3-4477-9E3B-26905A6D0661.png 3D37A684-1CA3-4477-9E3B-26905A6D0661.png 9F041237-B73A-4F99-9B51-88C9119D9F03.jpeg B4049AAB-6579-430B-B73D-2DBC2F9AE2EB.jpeg F5090C79-122C-41B0-A768-25E844932642.png 3D37A684-1CA3-4477-9E3B-26905A6D0661.png

    What's wrong with the watch, besides the hands which a member here said he could help you with?
    Quite an uncommon and genuine watch.

    You may not have liked what you bought but there certainly isn't anything fake about the watch.

    Are you sure? I like a lot black pie pans constellation so it is not that sorry and this case has been reported to the Gloucester police.
    Watch it carefully, not only the movement.

    Fake? Based on what Mr? I went to a omega retail outlet so my friend some parts are not originals and the medallion is made of bronze not gold but go ahead, you can buy it if you like it :)

    Not jumping the gun to doubt but purely out of curiosity, was it looked at by a watchmaker in the AD or a sales clerk?

    The rotor has probably been replaced, but it's not fake.

    It was looked by a retired watchmaker with a lot of reputation and in charge of three officials. Besides I went to a jewelry and told me that the medallion is not gold (he made the acid proof). Besides, I told all of that to the guy that sold it to me and he wasn’t surprise, he told me to return it, I said, pay to change the fake parts and he did not want to discuss that. All he wanted was to return the watch after telling him I would report it to the police. Some parts are original, others are not and others are fake to cheat people on purpose. But it is up to you guys if you want to buy it.

    Probably, I thought the same. So the description of the ad that says original is not true among other things. Just be careful, I repeat, I have it on my hands for a while and some parts are not original from that watch (hands, crown, bracelet)

    Funny. You're the second one who bought this watch and send it back. I can not find the first thread.

    Looks like it has a few service parts like you may expect on a vintage watch, and the end links and clasp extension may be generic.

    In the whole it looks largely correct to me and your claim of fake is a massive overreaction.
