Warning! I believe a fake BLNR is being auctioned on ebay!

Just scrolling through ebay when I found this:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/141250550677?nav=SEARCH

I'm almost positive it's fake by the rolex logo on the clasp and the besal fading on the 6. There has been 34 bids and I am just trying to get it noticed. My apologies if it turns out to be authentic!

Pass.

I don't like it at all.

And the zero feedback is another big minus.

Definitely fake. Isosceles GMT hand and thin bezel font. Instantly gives away the game

Yes look at the bid history someone with 5***5 bid from $700 to $2000 in just under 2 min. and there were no other bids submitted! Fishy for sure.

i will say this once and once only do not post any suspected fake anything in the Rolex watch forum there is a Watch Out forum for such topics.

Yeah, sorry about that, I didn't realize a watch out part of the forum existed!

Look at the bezel insert around the "6" mark. You can see the black paint wearing. This watch looks terrible.

Wow! I sent him a message informing him about how it is illegal to sell a fake marked as authentic and received no response. Anyone who bids on that almost deserves to get ripped off because that is just so obviously fake!

Sold: for about price of a real one. We'll probably have the buyer showing up here in a few days looking for answers.
