I've seen this De Ville advertised on an auction site. It's advertised as a GMT and not estimated to make silly money (itself a flag??), but i've never seen, nor can i find such an 'individual' piece. I can't decide whether I love or hate the mix of stainless and gold, not to mention the blue hands.
Everything is telling me it's a fake/franken, can anyone put my mind at rest before I'm tempted to pursue this further?
Thanks

There was a DeVille GMT, but it was beautiful. That is an ugly, POS fake.

Based on the above responses, could a mod please delete this thread. This watch dosen't deserve the PR! Thanks.

Post the link to this "auction site" so that we can all flag this piece of crap. Not a single piece of that watch has ever been to Switzerland. There are fakes out there that are excellent reproductions of originals where you really need to study the details. This one is closer to Cracker Jack prize.

I've messaged the auction house to make them aware of this piece. Hopefully it will be withdrawn from sale or alternatively labled as fake.
It'll be interesting to see if I get a response as advertising this as "An Omega De Ville GMT" is blatant fraud.
Watch this space!

Success!! The auction house have withdrawn the item from sale 👍
I haven't had a response to my email but their actions speak louder than words, so fair play to them.
