Really the watch is next to worthless IMO, replaced with an ETA movement. Its probably 100% fake

This watch came to me on consignment 2 days ago and the watch didnt work. Rolex Canada quoted over $1300CDN for a full service so I had my watchsmith take a look. We replaced the original movement (3135) with an ETA 2836-2 (28,800bph) movement and hands to fit.

You bet it is. Check this part:

It's not only a frankenwatch, but he replaced a Rolex movement with an ETA. At $1800 CDN, that's much to high a price.

Hutch, you beat me to the punch by about the time it took me to look at the ad and post a reply.

Its better to sell it is as an "as is" watch with a broken 3135 movement. Some folks would rather take it to RSC to get it running again, providing the asking price is reasonable.

better to have paid the 1300 get it fully service by Rolex then sell. 3100 for a TT sub 1800+1300 is a great deeal for a newly OH TT sub.

I'm thinking he's cleverly trying to pass off a fake. By saying that it already has an ETA movement, you can really sue him for fraud, can you? Also, I wonder aht would happen if you took that watch to Rolex to get verified? Would they confiscate it? Would they replace the movement and charge you $$$$ for it?
