·I have so far avoided further comment in view of the apparent intention by some here to misrepresent my listing. But as I undertook to do, I asked the buyer about his opinion. He is a member of this forum, and it is clear that he was fully aware what he was buying, as he messaged me to say "I have seen articles discussing this watch on the omega forums and know everyone’s opinions on this watch. But it doesn't matter. I can accept this situation."
The listing wording which some have so fiercely criticised was triggered directly by the disagreement here about the status of the dial. I was not willing to say that it was a replacement dial, because some self-proclaimed experts here said it was repainted ; and equally, I was not willing to say that it was repainted, because some posts here indicated it was a replacement. For that reason I used the phrase "non-original dial" because it covers either of those possible situations. This conflict also led me to have no faith that I could rely on EITHER of those "expert" opinions, half of which are apparently wrong. It might have been a variant Compax which never had a model name on the dial ; or it might not be a Compax at all. I'm still waiting for Universal's reply, which may help to clarify once and for all.
For those reasons, I will accept no criticism of my listing wording. Anyone with half a brain would have understood the listing to say that there was an unresolved question-mark over the dial.
Regardless, it is on its way to a happy new owner who will carry out further work. Some of those here should be ashamed of the language they have used, and the level of hostility shown to me ; it is unprecedented in my experience of various forums over 20 years, and does not show members in a good light at all.

·FWIW, I would wear it for that.
Didn't bid because I'm not a fan of international shipping of anything over $100.
Glad it all worked out.

·Is this still about the non-compax with the fake redial ? Give it a rest man, you sold it. Why are you so desperate to make a point ?
You should have sold it here btw and saved you that Ebay commission ! You did get the free advertising here plus the expert opinion for free as well so why pay Ebay ? You will be back here more frequently for this i expect ?
And was that sale suggested to you or is it actualy sold ? You never know with ebay claims or returns these days.
And dont say you were treated here in a hostile way, it wasn`t even close ! Google the timeless+oisin+bogart watch, you will see what happens if OF gets on a case. So before you continue to act like either a fallus copy or Richard Nixon, - the experts are still out on this one - count your blessings with this sale and zip it.

Maybe you should try threatening to leave, and see if that helps.

··Tend not to fret too muchHave just read through this thread for the first time and it reminds me you can tell a lot about someone by discovering what lengths they will go to try to make money.
Some can hide behind semantics but in the meantime I just make sure they go on my list of people never to do business with.
