[Report Thread] Fake Omega's, Fake Buckles, Fake Parts and Kits

Hi everyone,

I've created this thread so we can effectively and easily eliminate fakes from the market and prevent new fake stuff from coming up, Omega isn't a primary target for fakers, most of them are just starting up, with a little bit of effort, I believe we can deter them

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please post anything with an Omega logo that Omega didn't produce
Even if it's transparently stated as aftermarket, it doesn't give them the right to use copyrighted Omega logo

Please only post links to be reported, let's discuss things on separate threads and not here

Please only like posts if you've reported them
This way we can know how many people reported a listing

Please give instructions on how / where to report

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example, on eBay, the report button is on listings:


But on AliExpress you have to use a separate link, https://report.aliexpress.com/health/report.htm?type=knowledge - and paste the listing manually:

Please report this, after Seamaster 300, the Seamaster 60 is becoming the next model to be a target for kits with fake parts, we can prevent them before it becomes more widespread

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Seamaster-60-Big-Crown-36-8-mm-cal565-ref-166-062-/175311953145

Please report this: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005003264133558.html

Using this link: https://report.aliexpress.com/health/report.htm?type=knowledge

This is one of the first kits that imitate Omega's using all aftermarket parts, if we can get them removed, it might prevent other kits from being produced

[Optionally] If you have the time, also screenshot a photo from reviews that show the Omega logo and attach that photo in JPG format to the report

It seems we were able to get the Seamaster 60 off eBay!

Let's go after the buckles too, it might seem like a lot to go after, but there are 2-3 regular sellers on eBay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-BUCK...ATCH-BAND-BUCKLE-GOOD-CONDITION-/195108625046

If you have the time, you can report anything this seller has listed, they are all fakes

This one has MG markings, so no debate here it's a scam, people who bid on this will bid on thinking it's a genuine Omega buckle

I see where you're coming from, I don't feel too bad about non-marked "horseshoe" buckles

But fakers innovate and improve, so by being complicit you're contributing to a future where it'll be impossible for non-experts to differentiate a fake buckle from a genuine one, maybe it's inevitable, the day will come, but our efforts could be the difference between that day coming next year or in 15 years

They already got very close on one model, so even if you use them, still report them, it will directly increase the value of our collections, and more importantly, we'll be able to enjoy care free collecting longer

No reason for us to not be proactive, almost every day there's a post about someone getting burned on eBay, we've already prevented someone from getting burned

Edit: Also on eBay there are 2-3 sellers who list genuine buckles but send fake ones, I believe we can root them out too, the tell is their listings and history, their listings are repetitive

Indeed I missed it, no one mentioned it on the other thread and I kinda assumed it'd be stickied if it existed, seems more important than the caseback opener 😁
