Am I missing something?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Sea-...item19de79f495

Google translate gives the following for the description which is in German (I think)

"Rolex Sea-Dweller Double Red, Steel 1665 Automatic in perfect condition.
Water-resistant to 600 m.Gekauft in 1978
Black dial, folding, Buckle, with box and paperei.
The clock has been serviced in 2011, the state is absolutely 1A.
Complete will do etc. and with all the original box, warranty, anchor, sealing wax"

Come on guys....can anyone spot anything wrong?

Ear Pain · 30 June 2013, 03:38 PM

Hi Bill, looks too good to be true!! Nothing springs to mind from the pictures, one never knows...and that price tag!!

Colnago · 30 June 2013, 06:16 PM

Alright David....cheers....I have asked for a photo with a time and date set requested...also close up's of the dial, case back, bracelet and clasp....will wait and see

Has never sold on ebay before and last bought anything in 2011. Could be a dormant account that has been hacked into.

Swift_Movement · 1 July 2013, 12:24 AM

Price seems a little off. Watch out

crowncollection · 1 July 2013, 08:33 AM

likely not his photos, also no money shots i like to call them of key areas, between the lugs, inside clasp, and caseback. watchout

kooltzar · 1 July 2013, 09:23 PM

Photos from all over, all different background, different date and time on watch, almost sure that ot his own pictures.

Also his German language is full of mistakes, so definitely no German native seller.

Colnago: have you received anything from him?

Colnago · 1 July 2013, 11:34 PM

Not received anything yet.....sent two messages to him so far......expressing an interest but also stating I will not be making any offer unless I see some photo's....one of which must indicate a time/date request I made to prove possession

accce · 2 July 2013, 12:17 AM

The only thing I can see is that the date is different in the 2 pictures.

+1

Having said that, check out his feedback left for others. Written by a native speaker, no mistakes or typos.

I think something's wrong here.

kooltzar · 2 July 2013, 05:24 AM

Also contacted him for pictures, but no reply at all.

Looks too good to be true....

Swift_Movement · 2 July 2013, 08:37 AM

Sent message a few days ago and have not gotten a response

964RS · 4 July 2013, 12:12 AM

Guys....there are a LOT of fake listings over the last 12 months for double red seadwellers on ebay.co.uk

If it's too good to be true then it is.

Be wary specifically of one seller from 'Leicester' that repeatedly lists them at just under or around £10k...

crowncollection · 4 July 2013, 07:53 AM

I just got this response from the seller.

Thanks for providing me with a link. I have been listing this watch for a guy that doesn't have an Ebay account (or so he says). I have had my suspicions, which caused me to cancel the listing the first time but yeah. At least now I know for sure that the guy that was claiming to be the 'owner' of the watch, is not the owner in the slightest. Glad it was put to a stop now, rather than after the listing had ended and money had been exchanged.

Hmmm regards

Wow!!!.....the lengths some people will go to
