    ok
    OK - Question - I don't buy on E-Bay. The one time I did, I bought a franken space view that thankfully my wife enjoys wearing. (This was before I became an educated buyer) How are sellers accumulating positive feedback if they are selling fakes and franken?

    lol, here's the new link...

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/omega-seamaster-/191873019498?Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    If the price reflected its authenticity it'd be a $1 BIN, total junker.

    People don't know or don't care they've bought fakes. I do not believe in the saying "buy the seller". Doing your homework is the best way to keep from getting burned.

    I've reported that
    I've not only reported that one, I've messaged the seller informing him it's not only a fake but a very poor one at that.
    No reply, of course.

    Connie 167.005 cal 552 from E Lady Japan
    "eLADY is a global leader and a pioneer in anti-counterfeiting and has provided anti-counterfeiting training to hundreds of recycle shops and pawn shops in Japan specializing in pre-owned luxury brand items"

    Not very well then - cos it's a wrong-un

    Hmm. What's wrong with that connie?

    I only ask because E Lady has very good online reviews and I've been close to buying a few things from her.

    Is this a fake or a Frankenstein?

    This is pretty disappointing - genuinely thought she was one of the eBay 'good guys' :(

    If a 14900/02 or 167 is on offer the first thing to look for is -is it a fake?

    the first alert - wrong movement
    Then T on the dial
    So it could be a redial or frankenwatch?

    This picture makes it look better than it is - check the link for more pics - the correct facets are missing from the bezel, lugs and case

    So - Wrong bezel, case, crown, dial
    Poor medallion and stamping inside the case - even though it has purlaging inside
    Check Desmond's site if you're interested in Connies -for details of fakes

    I've seen plenty of watches on eLady that are correct -if not perfect collectors specimens
    Just not this one

    Hope that helps

    It doesn't really... I'm still unclear if it's a fake or franken? If it's a franken , redialed and or just a crap watch it shouldn't be in this thread and elady is in the clear.

    It's a fake Connie
    -so I think it qualifies for this thread
    - with an incorrect Omega movement which they often have
    (Tbh I didn't check the 552 for correctness)
