I can't personally comment on the authenticity, as I haven't looked into rep Rolex parts in some time, so I will go with your opinions that this is a rep dial/bracelets.
Why would fairly experienced seller like this start selling reps at the risk of ruining his EBay business? It's possible he is purchasing these second hand himself and then selling them off after refinishing, and may not know they are fake

With a little luck it'll fall apart in the first week (like a lot of those fabulous quality bracelets) and the buyer will get suspicious and make a claim.

I hope you reported it, because if you didn't . . .

I just saw that ebay listing when I clicked into the seller's feedback/transaction history, so I just reported it and hopefully ebay will inform the buyer

Having this uneasy feeling that the unsuspecting buyer could drop his/her Rolex head onto the ground anytime (or worse - into the ocean for the ones that go on boat trips as I have read before)

This is a fair comment - why would someone jeopardise their Ebay business for a few hundred $ ? I don't know, but he knows these are fake - I've messaged him twice regarding the bracelets, his answers were sufficiently vague to confirm that he knows what he's selling, plus on the second bracelet sale he did not put up a pic of the date stamp - highly suspicious.
Other people are aware - a virtually as new 10 year old Rolex bracelet would sell for $900 - $1000 on Ebay every day of the week, his are selling for $500.

Well with what you've said it does
seem sketchy. Greed does terrible things to people. Maybe he thinks he can get away with rep parts as opposed to entire rep watches.

Reported.
Surprising how he's on 100% feedback. Interesting looking at the description though "Gents custom aftermarket high quality Rolex submariner 16610 T dial with the oversized circular luminous dots. Luminous is also perfect on this dial so is the printing. Fits onto a original 3135 rolex movement." fake without saying fake!

He added that on when I wrote telling him he'd been reported to Ebay and Rolex - it's still counterfeit, Rolex will not care about fancy wording - fake is fake.

Yes, the coronet is not right, the date stamp is the same as the jf, so is the stamping on the blades, flip lock is wrong too.

How dare all you kids with your low post counts defy the Tripdog!! :laughing:

Joking aside, unless you really know the details leave it up to the experts.

Im far from an expert and even i knew there were basic flaws in that JF bracelet
