This 16523 ain't right...

Err buddies...can anyone be kinder to see what they could make out of this...so called 16523 Daytona...?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Daytona-18...QQcmdZViewItem

1. Are the pics n description wrong?
2. The watch looks odd...

But like other instances...the "story" sells pretty well...with 17 bids so far...amazing!?

Buddies, I think this "Daytona" is "misrepresented". I can't say for sure it's fake, but...
in 1999, 16523 model hasn't got the fat batons yet. The picture in the auction shows more like a 116523 instead of 16523. Just my humble opinion.

Reported.

Look at the sellers feedback "0" .
This usually tells the whole story.

Steven. Could rolexrolex23 be back with this one?

Zero feedback - member for 3 days? Stay well away IMO.

What POS would take an inheritance from his lovely grandfather and stick it on the old E-bay. "I don't need it as I already have a Rolex of my own". Who would not want this Daytona as it is exceptional looking. The guy has never sold a thing and he is now calling himself RolexDeals like he is going to be a big time Rolex Dealer. Give me a break.

Reported. If for nothing else the kid has no class. Selling a watch of his grandfathers.

Err buddies...thanks for the awareness...

IF n only IF the watch is right...the chap would need only to walk right into any watch dealer store in New Mexico...of all places to get a more reasonable amount of money easily...in exchange for that watch....rather than having it listed in eBay.

1. Do the pics belong to the watch that he had intended to sell...?
2. He said..."It belonged to my Grandfather and after his passing I have inheirited it and have decided I do not need it since I have a rolex of my own."

But in the same breath...he contradicted himself quite obviously n badly..."I will be selling off his collection so keep an eye out for more Beautiful Rolexs..."

Thanks Frostie:

I will wait till the auction is over and prove to the winner that there is no watch. Just a scam of money leaving from some poor, unlucky person's pocket and entering this dirtbag's bank account. Take the money and run.

I detest people like that.

The auction has been removed so it must have been a wrong 'un.
