    It's the real deal, but it's really banged up. The price is already about as high as it should sell for.

    The case has many marks from bangs and scrapes if looked at closely.

    Bezel has many dents and scrapes as do the lugs, being gold filled you can't do anything about that even if you wanted to.

    Have a look through the WRUW thread and you'll see a much higher standard of original watches.

    Plus its a gold filled case...not a big fan of these, I'd prefer a stainless steel to this...just my opinion though.

    That one looks way better. I need to find one like that. Thanks for the advice on the WRUW thread.

    That exact listing is discussed in another thread. One of the members hypothesizes that it's an experienced seller who has a new eBay ID. I say he might be right - that's a definitel possibility. However, the pics might be stolen and the whole thing a scam so it was suggested that a "proof of life" photo (the watch on a current newspaper with hands set to a time you ask for) be sent.

    I also inquired about this watch and the seller, with no feedback, wrote back in all caps saying it was authentic, but not much else :(

    Pure class - yelling at the customers. A sign of true professionalism.

    i got a reply and he also told me that he only sells authentic watches. I asked him to send a pic of the watch with today's paper. He replied that I can bid on his items once he has more feedback. He is planning on selling more Omega watches soon.

    Yep, said the same to me. Kind of torn now. I'd really like to at least try for it, but the seller's attitude is really off-putting.

    Well, it IS a watch. Authentic in that respect.
