You sure about that? Has serials, box, and paperwork. If it's a fake, someone put a lot of work into the package.

Thats what I was thinking Mr. Y.

Seems like if they were going to that much trouble they would hit 100% on the highlights..

I love how we're driving up the hit count, to determine if its a fake or not... :) lol.

If you guys have not seen, it's kind of strange that one of cdot's boxset + AD stamps and such has the same month and year on it, isn't it? He has not posted pics of his second one.

Picture from his post:

100% fake, look at the serials... Box is fake, papers as well, it's easy to make such a stamp. ;)

Thanks for noticing, reported.

Watch+Papers+Box=400-700? Sell for 13,000 plus. Sounds like a good deal

What surprises me is that a store like this has a fake watch. The other watches look gen.
Take a look at the crystal, crucket.

Could any pros on internet scamming comment on that?

Mostly because people don't think that they'll be getting a fake watch from eBay. I'm sure he sells more gens than reps. But when he sells a rep as a gen, the buyer is blissful in their ignorance.

I reported it too on Saturday, ebay does not care at all, as always. Today I send a mail to seller and told him it is a fake...no response
