Actually, I have a friend obsessed with clocks AND Rolex. Where did you get that? I'd love to pick one of those up for him. I know it's not legit, but I'm sure he'd be happy with it for his collection. I've seen one like it that looked like a sub, but never saw a GMT version. Anyway, I'd like to know your source purchase. Thanks.

No, these Rolex clocks on e-bay are NOT original. The ONLY original ones are those received by the AD directly from Rolex....strictly for display only!!

These are large with a dark brown wooden frame, a gold fluted bezel and broad stick markers. Only two hands compliment the beautiful cream dial and the AD usually gets just one for his store as a display. NOT FOR SALE!!! My AD does have two of these....but he's really very big!!

Those darn clocks look cool, but have been going for a fortune on E-scam lately (US$300). Also as mentioned shipping isn't cheap either.

I do like the green sub, black sub and sea-dweller clocks. Maybe when the price comes down some day, I'll pull the trigger.

Some clocks have a sticker on the back saying official Rolex merchandise. I guess this is just a e-scam to make some feel like it is real and bid more.

Its great! Congrats!!!

I've been waiting for one of the Blue Sub wall clocks to come back around on eBay - one a little less expensive than what most of them wind up costing.

The price on my GMT was $113 plus; $30 shipping. BTW, I saw a YM model go for $355 last weekend.

Just a fun thingy!

30 bucks for shipping on an item that weights one or two pounds tops is absolutely ridiculous. What happened to people charging what it actually costs for shipping?

That is one thing that seriously irritates me with ebay. Just goes to show you what kind of greed is in this world.

Guys,

I got this one for just 70 bucks (NZ) from an official OMEGA dealer who shut down and had his OMEGA dealership taken away. It was there hanging on the wall and I used all my wile and charm to steal it off him... A genuine OMEGA wall clock!! Now proudly hanging on the wall in my lounge!!

I am not sure your 100% correct on this matter. I have seen a few that come with cards from Rolex stating they are for store displays only.

Maybe the cards are fakes but they do look like store displays to me.
