What are opinions on this :
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/non-motorin...

It looks a fairly straight ad but the photo of the back of the watch looks to me like a different watch (black stop watch buttons).

Im just following the old adage of something looking too good to be true!

What black buttons? It just looks like they fall into shadow on the picture.
As to whether it's kosher or not, I couldn't tell you, not a PO man myself

I think the photos in the ad have slightly changed, as the buttons were black before.

I've got the same watch but in black. I'll try to add what I can from looking at the pictures.

The pushers look right to me, they are orange (mine is black) with highly polished ends, looks like the photo is just showing a reflection.
Case back looks like mine, right wording and the Omega laser etched logo is there and the bracelet has the same 953ID, the serial number on the card is very similar to mine starting 3 digits match, mine is a few years younger.

Hopefully that helps, the pictures look correct to me or very similar to mine. I guess the last part would be to see the watch in person and check that the pictures are of the watch that is for sale.
Seems very cheap, watch finder are selling these at £3.6k at the moment, then again I got mine for a steal too, so there are bargains out there if you want to take the risk!

Yes the ad has been changed in last half hour. The pushers were definitely black on first pic.
If it's kosha it's a bargain

Best thing to do is get in contact with the seller and take it from there! Shame they don't link to their profile on here, not that I can see anywhere.

Watchfinders prices are very optimistic; watches.co.uk have them for 3k all day which might be 2750-2850.

This a good deal, so 500-600 cheaper than a dealer but no 1yr warranty from a dealer...
