Yep, he probably thought he could lay low for a couple weeks, change his user name, and be back in business.

He's also go the 5508 back up again as well:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322209708428

Along with a bunch of others:

In addition to fake cases and dials, I have am pretty sure most of those rivet bracelets are fake as well (the ones with 57 end links).

Just FYI, guys, the recently banned and very active member marcusjcw21 (the one who was supporting WatchGroupCorp so strongly today, and calling out fakes 20 times a day for the last two weeks) is also WatchGroupCorp aka SuperiorVintageWatches, or at least operating from the same IP address.

Yep, this guy seems to be serious con artist, in it for the long con. Fortunately all his elaborate efforts over the last two weeks have only resulted in him shooting himself in the foot today.

Yes I was thinking that.
He also asked if I would share photos of the free sprung balance of the Swiss Ultra Fakes.
Gladly I had not

He's not even a creative watch faker... looks like he gets his "inspiration" from real vintage watches on the internet:

https://www.worldoftime.de/en/rolex....ner-19398.html

Notice the uncanny similarities of his Ebay sub to the one in the link above.

Then again, they both look like artificially faded bezel inserts!

That's why we give no info to new members. I was too trusting as he represented himself as a watchmaker

Shocked, but not that surprised, seemed off from the start. All that ranting about sellers undermining people's faith in the vintage Rolex market coming from watchgroupcorp of all people! Unbelievable!

What a strange MO this guy had??!!

He came on here and posted fake/questionable ebay watches day in and day out, but for what purpose? I actually felt bad for him; I pictured him in a hospital bed or some other confined condition, with only ebay and TRF Watch-out to keep him company. That's probably the strangest banning I've seen around here. Can't wait until he retreads himself and appears with a new game.

Edit: I just checked out his website. Apparently, he's kinda pissed at Mr. Morgan.

He's also threatening to set up a bunch of shill buyers to entrap trusted sellers into lowering customs declarations, avoid taxes, etc.

In summary: oh, the irony. A guy dedicated to busting fake watches on social media supplements his income by selling fake watches on social media.

I think the guy has serious mental issues, and I doubt that he is the real "fakewatchbusta".

Wasn't he the guy calling out everything on eBay that may have been fake? If so, it seems to me now that he was testing us (well, you guys who know stuff, not so much me) to see if we could catch the fakes...

I thought that guy was a bit odd but I had no idea of a connection.

That was him. My spidey sense kinda peaked a little but not enough to make me call someone out with the limited amount of knowledge I have. The watchmaker part kinda made me question myself as well.

I think he was just trying to build a name for himself in the vintage part of the forum so that he could eventually pull his Ebay shenanigans over here once everyone trusted him.
