Fake SMP on Ebay

[mwesten]

The bezel is completely misaligned, hands look about right but the HRV is off, and it has the commonly wrong CG for this model of SMP. Take a look:

Am I right or am I really that crazy?

The crown is so bad as well.
The bracelet looks stiff.
It's a rep for sure.
The seller may not know it.

hmm... THAT's about as impressive as Stumpy o'Leg McNoleg's personal best in the Market Harborough Marathon!

yeah. Just like redstars said. :wacko:

This watch is a sad excuse for a rep, IMHO.

Well, the additionaly picture he put up only proves it is in fact a rep, and it seems to have been sold for $868.77

I feel bad for the poor sucker who thinks he just bought a nice new Omega off eBay...

Edit: Can a mod please resize the image? I can't figure out how to and it's obnoxiously large to put in the post

Did the 300m ever come in quartz? http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-Omega-Seam...=280543963537&ps=63&clkid=6478029003704144217

Yessir! Still do in fact, model number 2221.80.00 but that looks like an older version, but it looks gen to me. Then again I'm on my phone so can't really get a good look

This from the Omega web site. Not the same as the listed watch. :thinking:

That's because that's the newer, Co-Axial version. I'll check to see if I can find the serial number of the older version. This watch is the classic "James Bond" watch, and I'm positive that that's a gen.

And it's actually the Mid-Size Quartz SMP, here's a little link to help tell them apart:
