Omega 2226.80.00 with mismatched caseback and series numbers up for Auction

According to the clear and closeup caseback image, number 08974 out of 10007 is currently up for Auction on eBay.

Further down, an image from the paperwork that acoompanies the Omega 2226.80 when originally purchased from an Authorized Dealer appears. It boldly reads, "Your watch is unique and carries the number: 08971 / 10'007" under a watch image.

That's right, "8974" on the caseback, versus "8971" on the writing.

As much as that says to would-be buyers of any Limited Series wristwatch in terms of due diligence, I'm even more struck by the Bidding. With now 1 day, 12 hours remaining, this Auction has received 26 Bids from six unique prospects. Many are from a 0-Feedback person from whom 52% of the Bidding activity is with this Seller.

But two others have quite a bit stronger histories. Pricing hit $1,456.00 from someone with a feedback of 1499. The current highest Bid, of $1,500.00, is from a 265-Feedback Bidder.

The watch is currently located in Fair Oaks, California [United States].
