In my hunt for a Minute Machine, I became uncareful, and bid on one on ebay without a thought about if there might be a fakes out there. It was only after I had paid for the item I started to do some research, and I immideately became suspicious of the watch I had just purchased. I sent a message to the seller, saying if it's fake, don't bother sending it, as I will open a case with Paypal if I receive a fake watch.
This is his reply, which makes it very obvious that he is selling fakes:
His watch makers says it's original... yeah right... I pointed out that he was lying, because he had sold many MM watches before, so I wasn't buying the "gift from a friend" crap. He then offered me a refund, so I lost nothing, but in his feeback I can see many people who has given positive feedback, unknowingly thinking they bought a genuine Oakley watch.
He has at least two MM colors, red and silver, and these seem to be extremly good fakes, almost impossible to tell. The only detail I have discovered is that for the red face MM, the fake has a red seconds indicator while the real one should have a white one.
These are his auctions:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Watch-O...e-Titanium-Bracelet-Edition-Red-/121391872437
In my research I came across this link which is probobly the source of these fakes:
http://www.watchesoppo.com/where-to-buy/replica-oakley-watches.html
After seeing that page, I'm going to be extremly cautious in the future when it comes to buying watches.
