Hi Will and others ... this is an old thread but it is bears resurrecting.

[name of SELLER redacted] sold the Omega SM300 to me and indeed, as TONI said (above in CAPS) the watch sold by [SELLER], [email address of SELLER] is, in fact, a fake. It has an Omega dial, hands, movement - but stuffed into a case that was not as represented in his offer to sell. It is NOT a WatchCo.

I contacted [SELLER] about this when I found out, after having the watch looked at by a watchmaker who pointed out that the watch was not right. (This was almost a year after the sale, although as I told [SELLER], misrepresentation has no statute of limitations.) I offered him a chance to make it right: do the right thing or take back the watch and refund monies paid.

(I can't post multiple images, but if there's interest from the community I can set up links to pictures of the watch next to a real Omega case, to show the differences).

Anyway, [SELLER] declined to make the deal right, to refund my money, or to make any adjustment.

So, buyer beware of dealing with [SELLER], [email address of SELLER]. In this thread he states emphatically that "it most certainly was not fake" which is not a true statement. Either he knew, which would make him a person who tells lies, or he didn't know in which case I would question his representations about any aspect of the watches that he is selling.

[SELLER] - if you're reading this ... This is happening to you as a consequence of choices that you have made. Consider the value of your reputation measured against money - for that is what is what you are choosing to trade-off. Money comes and goes, but your reputation is yours forever.

(Just for background about me: I've been a lurker here, but have purchased watches on all the fora. I'm a member of NAWCC and abide by the Code of Ethical Conduct in all my dealings. I've got over a decade on eBay with 375+ all-positive transactions, and many refs here as well. I'm just disappointed in [SELLER].)
