Someone must be hawking these to sellers in Sri Lanka and either giving them a cut, or pleading that their "computer is broken can you help".
All private listings too, so no idea of who's bidding.

I'm afraid that buyers will either get a fake watch (best case) or actually get nothing.

They pop up so quickly it's hard to keep reporting them.

Given how similar the listings are I think it’s likely the same dude posting them all, its clearly effective as he has sold dozens of these knock-offs at real Omega prices which is extremely sad. I keep reporting them but action isn’t being taken which is even more disappointing.

I am probably not going to buy a watch from Sri Lanka now.

It’s an aluminium painted bezel, real one is ceramic, bezel pearl at 12 looks wonky, the real dial has recessed lume plots sandwich dial style this one has them painted on the surface, fonts are wrong, case lacks sharpness, crown looks wrong, endlinks look horrible and have this soft blend of the gold into steel. Total garbage.
Is there any way to view photos of eBay listings that have ended? Would love to see the photos to better educate myself.

It’s important to note that they mix real stock photos with the photos of their actual watch in the listing, so you can flick between their own photos and see the differences.

and I don't know why you would bid so aggressively with 5 days left to go.
7k for an UM isn’t aggressive. That would still be very early stages.

UM up for sale on eBay. Seller has no history. Location stated as Finland although provides a contact number with a different country code. I suspect the images are copied from elsewhere plus the account has been hacked.

it would be better to report this item for sale off platform considering they are asking you contact their WhatsApp phone number. Reporting this as fake won’t achieve anything. For all eBay knows, this is a legit listing.

I bought a 39 mm quartz Hydroconquest a few years ago.
Someone on another forum pointed out that the bezel was 90° out of position so I got in touch with the seller.
He apologised and said the watchmaker he uses must've taken the bezel off to clean the watch and put it back wrong!?!?
Over 6 months had gone by when it became obvious my watch was a fake and too late for a refund.
The seller got shut down for selling fake Tags, came back again and got shut down again.
But 4 years later the same fake Hydroconquests are still there, with the same tells.
I've reported them scores of times without success.
