Fake Rolex 6538 James Bond model

Fake 6538 watch.
Beware.
Apparently, the seller had issues with other Ebayers.

Thanks for the info on previous attempts.
It seems that this seller is trying really hard.

...a FABRICATION for monetary gain...

...GREAT research also Dave...

...while the 1065 mvmt appears genuine, it is NOT the correct mvmt for the 6538.

...the CORRECT mvmt would have been the 1030.

...additionally, the bezel insert is obviously an AM insert.

...while the numbers on the insert appear the same shape as an original 6538 insert, they are definitely NOT correct.

...and, the seller says: "Bezel is used to replace,so rotation a bit tight !"

...therefore, the bezel itself is most likely AM.

...additionally, the band is fake.

...this seller is NOT forthcoming about the details of this watch.

...time for the TIN BIN.

...here is a GENUINE w/the correct 1030 mvmt, currently @ $38,000:

`not to mention the engraving on the caseback which is suspicious.

In addition to what you wrote Stan, the case is completely fake.
The movement 1065 would rather fit late 6542 models.

Again, well done Michael!
It will reappear in a couple of month, and will have the same treatment.
