    Same place that had the 105.002-62 that sold for US$15,100 a couple of weeks ago. I agree with @oddboy maybe it doesn't belong here.

    This would raise some serious SERIOUS questions.
    • for orders exceeding 10000 usd wiring is the best choice.
    No protection from ebay or paypal you are ::censored::

    Top rated sellers are expected to offer 30 days

    You get full refund minus the shipping fees which are non refundable."
    breaks eBay policy on several counts

    I would not touch this seller with a barge pole. i would not touch this seller with my neighbours barge pole
    • "Payment for this watch is by International Bank Wire."
    This listing should have been pulled WAY before this watch was sold.

    There were enough red flags here to put me completely off.
    That was a brave person that spent $30K on the 2998, in light of what happened to the 62.

    This one is being advertised as a very rare camouflage dial and they are asking a 1000 euro for it.

    i dont really know where to put this but i'll put it back here, I have been watching this account for a while, since it popped up here) and ebay are very unlikely to do anything about it.

    it's a "one of many" accounts there is an ON again OFF again loop with his sales, he can have maybe 10 15 accounts thats not in any way difficult. sells a few odd bits under $1000 dollar so he has great feedback that will never disappear. What WILL dissapear is the negative feedback one has been removed one is a new one too.

    you would think 5000+ feedback is good and it is but only if the account sells consecutively

    we spotted the account in "ON" mode it seems to have now been put back "OFF" likely to reappear somewhere else on ebay as quite likely a good high volume (by feedback alone) seller. also with people not receiving goods in 12 moths this account will of course once again appear perfect and ebay will have likely forgot.

    Just be carefull and check sellers are selling consecutively ALL the time,

    you got me looking theres bloody loads...

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Con...73a322f&pid=100005&rk=6&rkt=6&sd=311712556244Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    this one is particularly bad...

    I mean seller admits its restored but seems convinced its really well done...

    "I am a vintage Omega enthusiast and the retoration of these lovely old timepieces to their original glory gives me enormous pleasure and satisfaction. I have cultivated high quality, well qualified contacts in the trade who are experienced in working with vintage Swiss watches and who consistently deliver outstanding results."

    yea but..:(. but.:thumbsdown:.. thats really shit... ::facepalm2::

    That person seems to deal exclusively in hyped-up redials at prices hilarious to anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge. It's the same ethos as Sonning Watches. But a spider only needs to catch a fly every so often - look at their Sold Listings.

    Wasn't this kind of thing rather neatly summed up not so long ago? Ah yes, here it is:

    What are these people thinking! This is freaky 90% positive feedback! No watch in the box arriving! Still pay $30k! I guess they are hoping for eBay buyer protection!
