Here you can see he wanted £300 for one dial and said that he had sold many to people thinking they were original Rolex dials.
Once I told him I knew what they were he got annoyed.

You should have reported the listing to ebay and let them handle it. They have a strict policy against that sort of things...
I have reported this! he was trying to trade a cf dial with a gen one I was selling once I said I knew the was cf dials he refused to pay and left a negative review

Unfortunately 'MajorWilliams' has the IQ of a goat, he also runs a watchmaking business on reddit, which may explain why he and so many of the 'moderators' over there don't like it when someone rocks the boat.
If anyone sees a listing in the future from cacli_7900 post it here so the experts can have a look and we can report him en masse so Ebay will pay attention. I cannot find any current listings for that username.

Thanks for the insult :/
I removed three threads because this type of scam can be read by those who will repeat it. I banned the user for 7 days because he kept reposting despite the topic being removed.
Those who comment are morally in the right direction but lurkers are the ones that are exposed. If you think I should keep it up I will, but this was my decision I made trying to do the best for the community at large.
I help those with broken watches but that has nothing to do with this.

Probably just differing opinions, but I think it's more useful if the community knows this is happening. I've been shopping recently for gens and it didn't even cross my mind that this could be occurring.
I guess the truth is rep parts being swapped in and the watch sold as gen is already happening much more than we know, especially now since rep parts are getting near indistinguishable without magnification.
Man that probably explains why there are so many gen Daytona/Rolex dials for sale on eBay!

Seriously? WTF is going on over there? That is NOT how you handle this kind of thing.
