The largest independent, non-commercial, consumer-oriented resource on the Internet for owners, collectors and enthusiasts of fine wristwatches. Online since 1998. | |||||||

A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.

: Thanks for the extensive response. It has
: certainly given me some guideliness. I'm
: looking at a specific vendor on ebay.
: It's jmryshi. He's selling a lot omega's and
: espescially a lot of X-33's. He's an ebay
: power seller with very good feedback. I also
: checked on google to see if he's mentioned
: and he got some very good responses.
: Furthermore I checked Watch-U-seek and there
: was another satisfied customer. So
: everything points to the right direction.
: His photo's are many and detailed even up to
: the serial number (have a look:
: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5076393222&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1).
: The only thing that worries me is that
: watches that he's sold in the past have
: averaged out to be about $1100 to $1300 for
: a NEW V2. That would fall in your
: suspiciously low category.
: Let me know what you think, and thanks again
: for your time and effort.

Benoit,
Things must be cheaper in the USA... If it is coming from the states and your are in Europe, beware of import taxes. Nevertheless, I think your money and your watch are safe.
Put a picture of it (not on the fakes site) on chronocentric when you get it.
