Beautiful Submariners on Ebay - Report this Trash

[Zeta7]

It’s ended? Did it sell or was it taken down? I’ve seen lots of Frankenstein perpetual dates sell but nothing so obvious and with a replica case.

 

[Yellowsubmarine]

Looks like it may have ended with a best offer ? The listing would show a different screen if it was removed altogether right ?

 

[gym chan]

Vsf k25 with Frankenstein movement for only $8k. I gotta see how this one plays out

That dial looks like pre 2015 Submariner to me, with short F in ft and spaced "m". Back then rep dials were pretty bad to my knowledge. They didn't have rounded hour markers. The dial looks gen to me.

The wear and tear didn’t even look legit to me. It sold for enough that it has to pass eBay certification now so they’ll catch it.

Ebay will substitute another similar item when a listing ends. On that page look at the blue header to the right and you'll find "see original listing" just click on that

I think my personal favorite about that particular listing was the broken insert. It looked like a trashed replica insert with a painted platinum mod that was coming off.

The seller has reposted that POS. This time with only a mention of the bezel with proof he bought something off chrono a couple of years ago. I gotta admit there’s a twisted part in me that’s kinda rooting for the guy like the story about “The Little Engine That Could”.

This one could be genuine…with a shitty cyclops/crystal and a mismatched bracelet. The seller seems to be a watch seller and has 1550 feedback with 100% positive. Of course, it is eBay so who knows. @tripdog ?

It’s like these guys buy 5 digit subs, wear them for a couple of years, and then put them on fleabay.

It looks gen' except for that cyclops/date magnification. Maybe it's an aftermarket crystal, maybe he's just too close to the watch for the pics.

 

[Rx4Time]

Well, he declined to show a movement picture.

To me that speaks volumes...

Ehh, not everyone has the tools to open a Rolex. Other than the cyclops, the 16610 appears to be genuine.

 

[DiggerOfWatches]

Yeah fair enough

The guy has over 1500 sales on eBay. It's not exactly rocket science to open up the case back. While I agree he's a high volume seller, so not an outright scammer, it's also possible that something may have slipped past or any number of other possibilities, including an absolute horrendous refurbishment job, which the more I look at the more I think this may be the case. Looking at this particular piece, the cap of the seconds hand looks like a replica and not nicely finished, the end link fitment is horrible, The Cyclops is not magnifying. There's a number of questions, and I would think that an honest seller would take a few minutes to quell concerns

 

[gym chan]

Endlink fitment looks bad/too flat likely because the lugs got overpolished and lost a good amount of material, they gave the lugs a straight brush pattern too, which is obviously wrong for a 5 digit.

It's a big ball of gaffa tape, anyone can make one.

Sure, that may do the trick. I've seen it work. I've also seen it not work.

Odds are someone with a genuine Rolex isn't going to want to use a hack method. It doesn't always work either, especially when the caseback is torqued down to it's max. It tends to work with replicas, because well, they're replicas where water resistance isn't on the priority list.

$15-20 gets a good knurled caseback tool.
