Is this a joke? Should this be reported to eBay?

A "vintage Omega Railmaster" bid to $540 so far... this is so wrong I don't know what to say and had to post!



I suppose it's possible there's value in the case and movement if they are legit, but I've never seen a dial painted over like this!

Well first we need a link to the item
Then about half way down on right hand side, in miniscule letters it says "report this item"-->click and follow the instructions

Not sure I can report this watch
Case and movement are correct, dial, is reworked, hands all wrong - but its not in my opinion counterfeit.

See here for the correct details of that model

The problem...

... is the listing says all original...

"Watch is all original including the band."

At least you would agree that is a highly inaccurate statement. It's ok to sell a watch that's not entirely original or with a repainted dial, but that should be explicitly stated and not reported as "all original". I reported it and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

That dial is just... still can't believe it. I wish I could wash my eyes

The "criteria" allowing counterfeit reporting, does not cover reworked dial or marriage or indeed Franken.
It basically covers trademark infringement.

The sellers watch has an OMEGA genuine and correct movement for that model, albeit a reworjked dial and replacement hands.

I (personally) do not think eBay will see that a s counterfeit.

Just my opinion
