Is this Etsy seller selling reps?

I was on Etsy and came across a Tudor Black Bay at a price no where near MSRP. The seller has boxes and papers for the watches too.


To me it appears this seller is selling reps as gens. What is the take of some of the more seasoned collectors out there?

As far as I understand he says it's "handmade" what tells its a rep.

Whether it says handmade or not to me doesn’t matter. The seller is stating it is a brand new Tudor with paper and box, not a build or a mod. I’m still okay with reporting all his “Tudor“ watches as fraudulent.

I can still see it.

BTW, at the end of the page, there is this link: "Report this item to Etsy". I am not registered and cannot go on, but maybe you can try?

Cheers

Marcacciatori, I did end up finding that “report this item” and submitted a complaint.
I also messaged the seller and asked them “is this an all original black bay built by Tudor“ and they replied to me with “Message:Yes it comes with all the original parts box and papers and warranty card”
If those are reps as suspected that seller is making a good profit on each sale.

He has 8 Tudors listed.

I am located in Europe, where are you located? maybe it's a matter of geolocalization? No idea.

But strange that I can see it without being registered and you cannot

Anyway, if you look at the website from a computer, you can see a lot of other ads like these one.

Amongst which:

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Blue Dial at 432 euros, and
Patek Philippe Nautilus Blue Dial Men's Perpetual Calendar, also at 432 euros

His whole page looks to be various Tudors with too low to be real prices unless they are stolen.

I've been noticing alot of crappy very low end fakes on etsy and fb market. The question I ask myself is "does anyone actually buy these things?" Lmao
