Double Red for under £5000?
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"

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

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? |

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

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

Having said that, check out his feedback left for others. Written by a native speaker, no mistakes or typos. http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayIS...kLeftForOthers I think something's wrong here. |

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... |

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
