Fake Sub on eBay

[believer123]

I am pretty sure this one is a fake... as a matter of fact, I am positive this one is a fake; looking at the pearl and the crown guards, coupled with the fact that he is trying to pass it off as something he knows nothing of Rolex and he just picked it up as a "militaria and deceased veteran's" item. The saddest thing is that he basically states that he does not guarantee it is authentic and the bidding is up over 2k!

What do you think?

haha i was looking at this earlier as well. i figured it would be fake based on what he mentioned but the pearl is centered unlike a lot of the reps. other than that, for me it was hard to tell based on the looks alone if it really is fake or not.

The pearl was milky white, like the ceramic REPs; it protruded through the outside the metal housing. Authentic pearls are inset. Plus, the crown guards were way off... they surrounded and enveloped the crown.

It was removed.... Good, because the bid was up over 2k. Times are too hard for that!
