Hmmm, not too many of those come around that cheap. *Big sigh*


I think that what rsh meant, is that the watch is a rep, you can clearly see the laser etched crown at 6 o'clock and there is no AR on the cyclops.

Am i right?

YES you are. That's certainly NOT a gen crystal on that watch.

Looks like a nice rep, but a rep none-the-less. Or the crystal was replaced with aftermarket at the least.

GMT Case, fat hour hand, rehaut engraving dosnt align, round markers too thick, paint spillage on 25 tic on insert, incorrect pearl, coronet on crystal too big to be gen, poor fit on clasp flip lock... looks like a noob. Hope the seller didnt take that in on trade... it is a gen box.

Given his feedback he may not have known.

Excellent feedback and offering a 7 day refund...?? Wow, someone is about to get a big surprise. I agree with Alex...it's possible the seller wasn't aware it's a rep. But I'm at a loss as to how the winning bidder is willing to purchase something that expensive without knowing what they're buying. I'm starting to believe many really "don't" notice things that we do.

He'll probably be flashing it around TRL next week and claiming he paid $8k for it.

The buyer is the one who needs a message at this point. But I don't know how to do that.

Too many reps sold as gens on Ebay imho ... It seems to be an epidemic ..

I reported it to eBay and emailed the seller giving him a heads up. EBay now hides winning bidders due to all kinds of scams that were going on so it is near impossibe to contact one and given them a heads up... but then many would do that to wreck a sale too back in the day.

Ok, doesn't the clasp supposed to have Rolex in black ink. Looks like this clasp doesn't have it at all. Definitely a rep with original box. Also, it came with papers and no warranty card.. Another sign..
