Shameful
In Response To: It sold for .... ()

: Well I'm amazed guys.... the fake sold for a
: staggering 39.100 CHF ( so about 32,000 USD
: or 24,000 Euros ) !!!

This is shameful. Personally I don't feel safe buying vintage watches on eBay because I don't have the expertise to identify fakes. People naturally assume that the Omegamania watches are legitimate since they're being auctioned by Omega with a two year warranty. Luckily I saw the reports of fake lots or I could have been a victim. (Well, not really since my bids wouldn't have been anywhere near the winning bids.) Omega owes an apology and full refund to the winners of the fakes IMO.
