While I cannot take credit for the initial find, I figured this should be posted in the correct section to get as many reports as possible against the seller. Here is the eBay link



Credit to @Bpyfu for locating it. Below is the quote of his post from the brig

Where’s a good place to report sketchy eBay listings? Found a guy selling a Franken of ginault and rep 6 digit case for $2500.
I’m pretty sure he’s just dumping his leftover parts for a huge profit.

Thank you for posting this, I could not remember where to put eBay scammers. It looks like the listing has been removed. Good work fellas!

So, back to this clown. He re-listed the item. The listing was quickly taken drown. I sarcastically messaged him about his ad being struck, and he admitted that the case is a noob rep, and that he would sell it to me for 2k.
So I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of him.

I don’t think he remembers me, I’ll try to see if he still has the ginault case, or if he will try to sell it off as a gen

Probably wanted to use the Ginault case to build a digit Rolex and put the Ginault in a noob case to salvage th ecost of buying the Ginault, is what I assume happened

I watch ginault sales on eBay and they were same old same old but lately some people want $1800

I think maybe due to TC not making the ocean rover anymore (for now)

I was looking at this thread and started to look at gen Ginaults on ebay here in the UK and they do look nice - Are they considered excellent "homages" in their own right?

You are right though, people making rep Ginaults is just mental!
