1 feedback and it's negative - RUN and RUN fast. That's just basic eBay smarts.

Actually have 3 positives and 1 as a buyer and has never sold anything. My only point here is I live within 2 miles of this person and can hold then to task regarding authenticity.

The dial looks to be aftermarket. Note how the 11 and 1 o'clock markers don't line up properly with the day. Also, the day is not all the way in view which leads me to believe something is awry. Don't walk. Run.

1. Member for less than a month
2. Not good feedback 3. Blurry picture, not very many pictures 4. $1725 on a gold DD, and the reserve is already met?!?!?! 5. No info as to year, series, anything. 6. No way Rolex would have serviced it without replacing that hideous dial. 7. The day is way off. Run Forest, RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! |

BTW, I looked at his buyer feedback... Who the hell buys pheremone concentrate?
Seriously, He bought to things of pheremone concentrate for attracting women, a used hollister shirt, and then bid on a model but didn't purchase it (for a whopping $8.00 shipped). Someone who is bitching about buying an $8.00 model doesn't strike me as someone who can afford a DD of any year, however someone who buys pheremones and used designer clothes to try to hook up with women strikes me as someone who would have a fake watch. Now, if you must have this watch, and you live close, off to pay him in cash at the local AD after it checks out ;) |

Here's another one he's selling:
http://cgi.ebay.com/womens-rolex-wat...QQcmdZViewItem Assumeing he's a man, why would his mother give him a women's watch? And the date magnification looks horrible on this DJ to me. |

Some poor bastard just lost $1,425 on the second watch. Solid gold Datejust?!
I don't think so... Sucker born every minute. |

Go AD or go home...JMHO. You felt like you got screwed by your AD, wait until you get it from an Ebayer...Then you will really have something to gripe about. Good luck.

The topic of this thread is Watch Out, so why do you think I posted this info here? Now he is about 1 mile from me so I was contemplating bidding then paying him a visit as I may have been able to opportunistically get a real one at a low price. OK? |

Mark...you know better If the guy is selling one fake Rolex, what makes you think the other one is real? Don't let your hopes override your common sense.

I hope I don't get in to trouble by e-bay but I warned the guy who got the winning bid for the Presidents watch. I wrote to him several times and directed him back here to look at all of the feedback concerning the listed watches.
He won it for $3,789 so hopefully I saved him from getting ripped off. Now I see they got pulled so hopefully e-bay was notified that they were fakes. I just hate seeing somebody lose their hard earned money. Most of us work too hard to get ripped off by some low-life scum. Terry Newton |
