I'v got my eye out for an ocean racer/deployment and this seems a LOT cheaper than all the others,is it TOO cheap to be the real deal?

Can't really tell from those photos, but it's not necessarily cheaper - that's just the starting bid.

I was looking at straps from a seller in FL on ebay - carrerawatchesinc - and his name was also Johnny. Had great feedbck except some of his strap feeedback included:

Took 3 weeks to ship, then sent fake Omega strap. Returned for refund
Buckle not genuine but seller refunded quickly.
Item was not original, seller cancelled the transaction quickly


So seems coincidental about the name and location. I think your best bet is to buy a strap from one of the AD's on here who will give you a great deal. Would rather pay $100 more and know it's real since a $275 fake strap is worth nothing

Thanks mate
Thats what I'm starting to think too.
Seems like its too hard to tell real from fake from the pictures they use.
The straps are so close to the real thing.
I'll get a price from my local AD,I have a feeling it wont be cheap.
Although $225 for a black chinese condom with holes..is a bit hard to swallow... 8)
