That sub has been around for like 2 months now - on and off.
He's just fishing for suckers, imho.

That dial is so obviously fake. Maxi on a 90s sapphire Sub? The case also looks off. 99% of the seller's items are cheap DVDs.

The dead giveaway is the minute markers touching the lum.

I reported it as a Frankenwatch and pointed out all of the problems with it.

You are right on the dial, but isn't it a older dial on a 1990's case, I've seen watches though are Rolex geniune parts, they are from different era, wonder if it's a Rolex movement

the first thing I noticed was that the L in rolex was not lined up with the crown,then the oyster perpetual date looks all scrunched together (letters too close I mean),also minute markers.
