Item description states "A vintage Omega stainless steel mens Wristwatch." and "The back of the watch is marked Longines." Hmmm which might it be? An Omegines or a Longega? http://www.ebay.com/itm/231553127599?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Vintage Omega movement lovingly shoe-horned into a bastardized case. I've done this with a couple of IWC movements where some misguided souls have scrapped out the case and given me beautiful movements. I pick up generic NOS "contractor" cases at the watch shows for pennies and do the same just to wear around a very cool movement. Would never sell, though.
Agreed. When trying to sell it as authentic. When you put a 911 engine in a Vanagon, you can't sell it as a 911 but you still can enjoy a quirky ride.
At least there is a historical connection between VW and Porsche. Until Swatch acquired both Omega and Longines, there was no connection between the companies at all. A creative concoction, but phony nonetheless. gatorcpa
