Sorry, I went MIA on my thread again! So this POS ultimately sold for $2158.99! It was purchased by:
z***2 s.gif ( 134 iconTealStar_25x25.gif )
Strangely, or maybe not so strangely, the EXACT same listing has popped up again from this seller:
tigerwatch(241 )
in a different location in California as the original listing in this thread. Bidding is already at $1025 with 6 days to go.::facepalm1::

Franken movement with fake bezel and fake dial. Many of them around and have been talked about here before, all have the same exact fake bezel and fake dial, just different franken movements and different ebay seller IDs. Notice the fake dial: stepped, no T but long hour index with printed logo, and especially the wrong font types. The mid case appears off also, but not certain without side by side pictures.

Is this the same one that's been floating around for like six months? Sort of like that 2915 that hung around like a bad smell

Just the bezel and dial that look the same, but the movement is a different franken in each listing.

You report it and they do nothing but charge the commission, wonder if eBay figure its close enough so its probably fine... I really hope that buyer manages to read this.

A lot of effort was put into the bezel.

This one's back again but he's modified the movement further with some genuine Omega parts by the looks...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-OME...109887?hash=item5b21717dff:g:JmsAAOSwxp9W4NH6

Already up to $2600 which is sad...


Ouch!!!! Sold for US$3,538
I am half-hoping the buyer doesn't end up on this forum asking what we think of their new pride-and-joy.

Have to admit I was looking at the bezel originally but more to try and figure out what the hell it was.
That was only after the head-scratcher of the painted logo with the long indices.

Do you think that maybe they have a factory somewhere churning these out?
