Worst Sea-Dweller rep ever?

My favourite bit-

'Un fortunately there is no box or certificate with this watch but as you can see from the photo's there is plenty of rolex symbols all over the different parts of the watch including a symbol etched on the underside of the glass which may not be visable on the photo's.'

lol thanks

Reported. I also bid 50,000 GBP on it just to get the seller's hopes up.

Damn, I hope I don't get stuck with it. ;)

Just curious - what makes this an obvious rep? I can't see anything, but I am a total noob.

Crown guards being too big in front. That means the crown location is too far towards the back of the watch, which makes the crown guards curve in too much in front. That means the movement is wrong if the crown is in the wrong location.

Dammit. Are you bastards just bidding this up because I told you my maximum bid?

I hate you all.

So many things matey I don't know where to start. Biggest tell for me is the shitty DW font and missing pearl. The whole case, dial and bracelet look like junk. Canal St at best. Shocking for someone with 200+ feedback

I can see the hands now, they are too bright. And the pearl, of course. Obvious really now I look closely.

Thanks, interesting to know.

Lmao email from the seller:

well seeing as though the friend who im auctioning it for took it to the rolex shop today, had the back taken off and took photographs of it for all you scaremongers then yea i will prove its real, and your the 1 who will be facing charges when you entered a legal contract with ebay when you placed your bid.....

- tone_kramer

And added to the listing:

On 02-Dec-12 at 21:04:10 GMT, seller added the following information:
as i am advertising this for a friend and due to all the hatemongers emailing about it being fake, my friend took the watch to the rolex shop in leeds city center today who took the back off. he took a photograph of this which he is sending me later and has also written some more details down. if your 1 of the pathetic people complaining this is fake then go bother somebody else as you know nothing about the situation and your the ones who will be reported to ebay due to not paying for items when entering a legal contract.

Yeah, I had a few back and forth emails with the seller. 2 different stories from him and a few threats of legal action if I didn't honor my bid (it went up to £50,100 at the end)

I just laughed at him, and told him I hoped he spent a lot of money celebrating the night before when he thought he was selling a $20 watch for £2500. That ended the barrage of emails from him, so I guess he actually did. Lol!

I had a few back and forth e-mails also. He told me I was obviously just mad cause I was outbid.

"Dear tone_kramer,


I assume you know this is a real crappy fake.
"


"Guessing your upset you got outbid?"

Then:

"
Dear tone_kramer,

Yeah, that must be it. I'd don't think I'd want want to throw my money away on that one when I've already got one that looks a whole lot better. I'm guessing now you are aware it's a fake. BTW, I've reported it to eBay."


"Oh sorry i didnt know your middle name was rolex. As you can see by looking through its exactly the same as every other sea dweller on ebay so report all you want your just a sad excuse for a person who has nothing better to do

- tone_kramer"
