In answer to your ?, we have been selling ONISS watches since 2000. They are NOT fakes, at least ours are not, as purchased either from the company directly or a re-seller. We don't deal in fakes, nor were we ever approached with a fake. We could be mistaken, but we thought always that fakes are on big big name label watches.But we don't know, anything is possible, perhaps. We can speak only for us. The manufacturer Oniss is in downtown L.A., and we went there in person one time & met him & saw all the inventory, as we like to be diligent when buying merchandise. He carries a few brands of watches, all stunning. Think we may have some more of his other brands in our storage, which we are now opening slowly (we relocated). The owner,Mr. Nisimov was there, & he was personable, but busy. The ONISS watches are stunning & appealing, both men's & womens, in our opinion. Frankly, we sold not the one you mentioned , but others for $280-500 per watch, when we owned our brick n mortar store in Beverly Hills. They sold like crazy..very popular. In all those 5 years, NOT ONE return. Since have sold one several months ago on eBay. Not a return, not a ?, not a problem. Personally, we think they are visually outstanding, or would never have bought them for our BH store, as our buyers were PICKY, pampered types of customers, in a world class shopping center. All we ever heard from any of the buyers was what great time the watches kept (Swiss Movements on ones we sold) & these were customers who were very affluent, & had other big designer name brand watches they wore...& they bought these from us, as most of them had watch "collections" & thought they were a 'deal'. Now that we sell them on eBay & don't have store overhead, we lowered our prices to barely above our cost, as trying to keep merchandise moving & selling & not becoming stale, & we think we are offering "deals". So if our prices seem low, they are, but only because our overhead is less without brick n mortar rents. In our relocation careless movers trashed many of the Oniss boxes (they are wood-& do chip easily), & we are selling some with boxes, some without boxes, but all watcheshave their original tags (it'sburgundy, like a wax seal). We were so upset when they damaged the boxes & many other things we shipped, as the boxes are quite attractive, but that happens when "moving".Can't speak for other sellers on here. Don't know if they deal in fakes, as it is illegal, only know that we don't, and we HEART these watches. Re your submariner one, we didn't stock that model, so can't comment on it.
Don't know if our comments help you in any way, but hope so. We just happen to be on the board noodling around and saw your ? so thought we would take the time to reply. best thing to do is ask the seller ?'s via eBay messages re his listing, check out seller's feedback track history, let seller explain pricing to you.. And share your apprehension with the seller. Assume only that sellers will be proactive. We welcome communication with our buyers at all times.. Good luck with the purchase of your new watch and enjoy all the "deals" on eBay... best, pauli & chacha (in spirit)
