Fake Vintage Seamaster

[Meta4]

Cheeky seller knows it's a fake and tries to skate around it with weasel words and horrible photos that obscure the detail.

When asked, he just says that the case is not made by Omega and sends slightly larger versions of the same pics.

Close examination shows the classic tells for this model:
Closed loops on the 6 & 9
Misspelt "certified" on caseback
Pointy A in waterproof

Probably not ... I submitted one ages ago and ebay as usual have done nothing about it.

Ebay UK are the only ones I've found that take any action when items are reported.

I hate to say it, but that's a good price for a rather nice fake. Mind you, it's hard to tell most details based on the tiny, crappy pictures, but the 6 and 9 look like they have open loops to me. Good catch on the CERTIFED and pointy A, though.

Wouldn't mind owning it for that price, but it's doubtful I'd consider bidding on it in the first place.
