Re: Real or Fake?

In Response To: Real or Fake? *PIC* ()

After having bought several watches (some Omega and some not) off Ebay, my watch word is always "caveat emptor" - Now after having looked at the pics on the site, even if it is a fake, it is probably worth every bit what you paid. (might make a dandy vacation watch to wear when you don't want to take the expensive one out but just look like you did!)

My advice, pay for it, examine it or have a professional look at it first-hand, then contact the seller and or Ebay to resolve any further questions. I would not accuse the seller until I had the goods in my hand.

Even if this entire thing bottoms out - you decide you bought a fake, the price is low enough to prevent you from feeling badly for a long time. Look at it this way, over time, even good fakes have become collector's items.
