This is unbelievable, he even posts a pic of the movement to reveal its a cheap A21J movement, and people still feel they're getting an authentic product :o

It's indeed a sad state of affairs when these things can be sold as authentic and companies like eBay refuse to investigate and do something about it when the authenticity of the item in question is brought up to them.

The problems is that most people, unlike those of us that have had some exposure, have never seen the inside of an Omega watch or whatever, and posting a picture of the movement, is not going to tell them anything, other than perhaps it appears as a real mechanical movement rather than quartz.

I would even go so far as to give the seller the benefit of the doubt, and say that even he had no idea that he had a fake, mainly because any scammer out there, even the semi-dumb ones, would know not to post a picture of the inside if they knew it was fake.

So once again it goes to show what a service a group like our can provide, and if this hobby would become more mainstream and "over-the-counter" so to speak, a lot less people would fall for this kind of bad deals.

Exposure? You cannot buy a watch like that for $500. The person who bought it (or any others like this) fall into one of three categories.

1. A moron.

2. Someone trying to take advantage of an unsuspecting seller.

3. An uneducated buyer.

If it's number one nobody can help them because you can't fix stupid. If you did this time it would only delay the inevitable which is tommorrow morning.

If it's number two then they got burned at their own game.

If it's number three well they pretty much roll with number 1. Everyone needs to take responsibility and do their own homework. If they won't then holding their hand will only produce the same result as Mr. Inevitable probably visits them alot as well.
