So who is going to tell him his grandfather didn't know squat about watches or was into fakes ?

 

I'm new to this but very interested in learning. Can you explain how to tell this is not original?

 

Well for starters the case has nothing to do with a SM300, or with any other Omega. Just google the earlier ref SM300 (2913 or 14755) and have a close look at examples. The differences will be quite obvious.

 

It is a genuine omega movement.

Case is not omega. Omega never put anything like that on their casebacks.

 

Suppose it could be called a frankenmaster.

 

I messaged the seller warning him he had a fake or franken and his response was that it was all original and very very rare. Uh huh.

 

I reported it as a fake.

 

Reported.

 

The seller sent m a long rant where he goes into how "most" of it is original so it's fine. Uh huh. Sure. Reported.

 

Reported.

 

It is still there for sale.

 

Yup. The Bay won't remove this one.
