I personally wont be bidding on this, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Real or fake?

I probably shouldn't chime in since I know nothing about PO's but what the heck. Call me crazy but I often feel the 'sheen' of the metal on fakes never look right to me, and somehow, this one don't look right.....to me at least, but what do I know.

Won't I feel like a fool if it's real:-d

0 feedback Seller, contradicting descriptions and mislead info, ie watch has manufactuer warranty yet card, albeit fake is unstamped, therefore no Warranty.

Personally, it's one of those to run away from.

Zero feedback seller, not warrantied from the factory although seller
says if watch not repairable, it will be replaced by the factory. The Warranty it through the seller and probably means its a grey market watch, at the very least. It looks to be the real deal. I wouldn't touch it due to the seller, warranty and the seller feedback policies.
There are other deals around thats not as risky.

It's a moot question. Walk away from the seller.

I'm no expert but i have bought 2 Omegas via the internet, one from ebay. I would not buy this one. Something just doesn't look right.

I'll take a chance and say it's real. Everything looks original to me. Not that I'd risk buying from this guy mind you. Probably not the pics of the watch he's selling.

I say genuine, but only because the pics were stolen from Bernard Watch..

Bet the picture of the fake box and paperwork was not taken from Berbard Watches.

The whole listing screams scam but someone is going to be crying when they receive the watch:rodekaart.

I contacted the buyer before they paid. They referred the whole mess to ebay as the seller is spamming the buyer and wants them to split up the payments into 3 parts...Oucho|

This is one of those listings that just go to confirm that you need to buy the Seller as much as the item for sale.

Albeit, the watch looked genuine, only give away to me was the fake paperwork and box but 0 feedback with a professional looking listing and pictures ring alarm bells.

Hopefully lessons have been learnt.
