So this one isn't an Omega - in fact I'm pretty sure that nothing actually exists at all for this - it just needs to be flagged so that ebay will remove the listing. Guy is "selling" Seiko SARB065 Cocktail Time watches for $19 with free shipping

From looking at the feedback I'm 99.99999999999999% sure the account was hacked. I was actually curious how this works to make money, as people would be able to get refunds from Paypal - but then Paypal and ebay are the ones left holding the bag with the way they do this.
"Chances are good when you see a very low too good to be true Buy It Now price on an item, that it is a hacked seller ID scam listing.
The things to look for to identify this type of scam are:
First look at the sellers feedback profile. You will see maybe 1 or 2 transactions in the last six months. Before that you will see no purchases or sales for over a year. The two recent transactions will be for purchases not for selling. Those purchases reactivate the members feedback number, and let the hacker know if the owner of the ID is still paying attention to their account. Often all of the other feedback is for buying only, not for selling.
The listing itself will be a multiple quantity available listing, and will end in 3-7 days. The shipping time will probably be 10 days to 2 weeks. That allows the listing to end before the first of those items should have been delivered.
Once the listing times out, or all of the item are sold, the "seller" cleans out their PayPal account and is gone before the first feedback are posted.
This can be done because the "seller" created a PayPal account and placed a several hundred dollar balance in it months before. They may have made a few small purchases on it with another ID, then added the Hacked ID to the account, and made those couple of purchases you see. Because the account has had activity, and held a balance for several months, no beginning seller 21 day payment hold is applied. The seller may leave the original seed money in the PayPal account to prevent the account from being frozen, but in the mean time they have made off with several thousand dollars profit."
