The above eBay auction listing shows a fake Omega Seamaster 300- the reasons it is a fake are obvious to watch saddos like me, but it would be easy to be taken in if you are not a ‘saddo like me’.

I reported it to eBay and got this back-

What’s the point in reporting if AI is used, a technology that at this time may be able to create a photo or a song, but it certainly could not spot a counterfeit product. But, eBay is using it anyway…
