Oscar, if you are sure of this you should email ebay about it. I have emailed them about fake tractor listings in the past and they removed the auctions.

What are some things on the WUS watch that show you it's not genuine?

I read the ebay guide, and think I see what you mean. I also did some online research. From what I can tell, none of it really looks right. The bezel insert seems wrong, I can definately see the hands are wrong, and the movement as well. Thanks for the lesson. One thing I've learned around here: always post what I'm going to buy if I'm not familiar with it. If it was fake/franken, I know someone around here could help hand6.gif.
