Re: Fake SM Pro selling for $300+ right now on eba
In Response To: Fake SM Pro selling for $300+ right now on ebay... ()

: But one fake has reached a dangerous level - is already has 40 bids on it by
: 4 potential buyers and is up to $300! That got it flagged as an eBay *HOT*
: item.

: All this despite the seller saying: " I cannot insure its authenticity
: ..." [red lettering is the seller's]

: Telltale clues are: use of the word 'AUTOMATIC' on the dial, beveled edge
: inside date window, and the biggie -- a see through back!

Not to mention the "PROFESSIONAL" is missing.

: The sad part is that eBay will not intervene in this auction unless someone
: from Omega reports it as a fake. eBay will no longer accept a counterfeit
: report from an independent expert.

I agree, it really is sad. Omega should check these out and threaten legal action. At the very least their copyrights have been infringed, and these hunks of junk on the wrists of uninformed buyers can only cheapen Omega's reputation even though they have nothing to do with it.
