Why stop at Omega?
Would you like to see Ebay insist on written documentation for every watch before they allow it to be listed?
If you're going to carry on with your pointless crusade against Ebay may I politely suggest you keep it to yourself because I'm sure that I'm not the only one here that is getting rather bored hearing about it.

 

This ones back looks just like my fake one, reported.

Opinions of this one? Franken? Cal 283 in a late model case.

This is laughable. Copy of the 50th anniversary GMT....except they forgot the GMT hand. Reported.

 

Don't think it's fake. Terrible yes. Gmt hand probably had to go when the dial was ruined with thick diamonds.

 

Look at the Seamaster Font and the way chronometer is spelled. Chronometre. Plus T Swiss made T at bottom of the dial. Total fake.

 

Dial also bad. The one important clue is the weight. It weighs 214 grams. No way it's not solid gold. Regular GMT weighs roughly 150.

 

That would be the correct, french, spelling of the word. I've read (mondodec's blog I guess)
that Omega have used both "meter" and "metre" in the past.

I'm not saying the dial is not fake/redone, but the spelling of chronometer is no proof.

 

It is when they stopped spelling it that way around 1960. That was my point about the spelling.

 

This is from a gold buying exchange. There is no way that they would get taken when it comes to buying a solid gold piece. They might buy fake watches, but they would quickly be out of business if they couldn't test for solid gold.

 

Ash, I agree the dial has definitely been redone or is fake and awful. Also, no shot of the hallmark if 18K. Did Omega even make the 50th anniversary GMT in solid gold? To me, the finish on the case looks to be poor quality or has been polished to death.

 

There are faint hallmarks on the bracelet clasp and one of the lugs.

 

OK. Maybe I'm wrong....but the dial definitely has been redone or is an after market fake.

 

This is the second time I've seen this fake by this seller. Even admitted in PM that it is fake "I never claimed in the listing that it is authentic"

Please report this. Selling scanned copies of A Time Capsule.

 

Holy crap!
A survivor from a case salvage, I wonder what they got for the "18K Gold" case?
