    Maybe, but there are a lot of ignorant people in this world. Look at all the new members/post, titled "New member. Looking for advice and info on my first purchase." Keep us posted on the return message....

    That seller has a lot of candidates for this thread. My personal favorite:

    First of all, I'm not aware of any 176.005's in steel selling for over $4,000, let alone a gold plated version, which typically trade hands around or under $1,000 still. Then there's the bizarre red/orange sector painted onto the dial. ::screwloose:: Finally, this description:

    OMEGA DEVILLE MEN'S CLASSIC DRESS WATCH
    GENTLY POLISHED TO REMOVE ANY SCRATCHES
    IN EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER

    YOU WILL LOVE THIS CLASSIC OMEGA Seamaster Jedi Chronograph


    No it's not a Jedi, but that is at least somewhat forgivable. DeVille dress watch though???

    The shill, sorry, I mean, vividlily hit the bid key once to many times.

    You have to admire vivid though, expert polishing and even better photography skills.

    Oooooooo, shiny! I'll buy that!

    I'm posting this Connie as something of a warning to the unwary - although as it stands it definitely is too much money for this watch, so this is probably the best place to highlight it
    $3,599
    a quite nicely executed redial but a redial all the same
    (and a 'soft' case plus incorrect crown)
    noted as a redone dial but also "100% authentic"
