Wow, even I can see that's an OBVIOUS fake. And that in itself says a lot.

I reported it as well... in the past when directly asked... the 'bay has told me that they respond to "Trademark Holders" requests long before they'll listen to a random person who states "Hey... that's a fake and pretty crappy one at that".

Anyone take the time to dig old sales on that user and see if they deal with watches on a regular basis? From the listing, it appears that they know nothing of watches in general and even less about high end mechanicals.

I know of at least two sellers in the past that had a habbit of this... And I know they knew because they sold the same watches no box/papers multiple times in a year. They were usually good reps but not Rolex/Omega. Distinctly remember one was selling IWC ti GMT about every three months mixed in with a bunch of gens.

Yeah, most people wouldn't question the authenticity based on their feedback. It's an easy 15-20k a year in extra income for the low life ripping people off

You guys are very quick to declare it a fake but I'm not so sure ...

It's possible that this seller has stumbled on a real rarity.
The real deal costs over $100K.
Only a few are made each year and they are all individual and a little bit different.
Most are made of platinum, yellow gold, rose gold or white gold.
So this stainless model exhibiting corrosion is even more rare.

"It looks like a real stone ?(ruby) in the center of this gold part."
If that doesn't sound genuine, I don't know what is.

The seller has pulled this and not ebay.......

eBay is doing some questionable things. I guess they contacted him about it though.
