Hi all,

Just a heads up if you happen to stumble upon this D-Blue on eBay. The dial seemed off to me. And after looking closely, it is off! Look closely at the serif on the leg of the letter "R" in Rolex. The 12, 6, and 9 o'clock plots are off! Also notice the "ft" and the "m" in the watches depth rating. Also how faded "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date" is.

The seller has it listed at $10,500. A little low for the watch...

Look OUT!

That would be an expensive mistake!!

crowncollection · 6 February 2015, 05:33 AM

Bad dial that for sure

Keith1 · 6 February 2015, 05:37 AM

The listing says "Rolex Sea Dweller, Deepsea - with an aftermarket deep blue dial. The dial was added by Limited-Watches Inc and not by Rolex. Dial is Aftermarket" !

It looks horrendous

mfer · 6 February 2015, 08:33 AM

it is stated it is aftermarket.

ltmgeller · 6 February 2015, 08:54 AM

The colors are all off.

AK797 · 6 February 2015, 09:03 AM

Don't like the bezel either, whole thing could be a fugazi, avoid!

MBYSF · 6 February 2015, 10:42 AM

Same seller has lobbed some fake platona dials onto ss daytonas too:

I've been aware for a long time that there are 2 differing watch customer groups: those that are concerned about originality/authenticity and those that are more concerned with looks/price (largely the junk diamond/colored dial/italian band-type). But I'd not before considered that there are those who will pay a huge amount of money for a modern watch that has had fake parts added to make it appear like another legitimate watch.

It kind of makes you wonder what the point is and how on earth you can trust a seller of authentic watches that specializes in doctoring them with lookalike fake parts?

AbsolutelyROLEX! · 8 February 2015, 01:02 AM

Whole thing is fake, if you look in the lower left corner, you see part of the plastic that wraps around the band, not the way rolexes come packaged and typical of replicas

TheRealPatek · 11 February 2015, 03:11 PM

Wow, I missed the plastic wrap on the bottom left. Nice catch, not surprised at all.

TheRealPatek · 11 February 2015, 03:25 PM

Well said, I agree. May I add two more watch customer groups? (I will list them like you responded "HELL YEAH!).

Numero 3: The 150mm massive Diesel wearers that scream and warns ladies of a limited underachieving package.

Drum role please... #4: The prestige group that doesn't need to think about 25k and always buys direct from AD. (Not me, but maybe some day)

Usually I'm way more reserved and under the radar, but I couldn't pass up the chance to poke fun of Diesel and the smaller attributes of some of their wearers.
