I’m resuming my hunt for a gen five-digit bezel. Carpetryd had one a few weeks ago that I should have jumped on, but I was out of funds. An eBayer in Italy has two. What are the odds that these are legitimately gen? I’m just not sophisticated enough to tell on my own. Any help determining would be greatly appreciated!

“Seller does not accept returns” so keep that in mind should you decide to buy.

@R2L That's a great point that I failed to notice.

Maybe it could be worth taking a gamble on if the seller would discount it enough. Pretty sure it's too dicey buying at the listed price.

Additionally, Seller joined ebay in January and only has 2 positive feedbacks. You should negotiate hard on all these accounts and hope he comes down on the price. Best of luck…

Problem is what is pictured is not necessarily what will be shipped so then you are dealing with either a chargeback or ebay's bullshit guarantees. The only two sales were a 5512 and 5513 caseback. I personally would pass unless there was a return policy in place and lots of detalied close up pictures presented ahead of time with flaws/nicks that you can compare to what you receive to verify it's the same one. He's using the same chunk of rodico for both sales. Seems off he suddenly has two to sell at the same time.
