FrankenSub on Ebay

Snowed in and surfing and this auction looks fishy.
Item number: 130352117601
Pic of dial is horrible (looks like it's been through a sandstorm?), but decent pic of cert that says Black dial / SS band --not "Rolex Submariner Blue" per ad.
Seller needs to re-word ad , at a minimum, IMHO.

Great catch and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Too many inconsistensies. The paper is for a Sub Non-date (14060). The fingerprints are obviously trying to hide details on the dial.

TIMETOGO!

SafeTrends, been to SD for a Redskins / Denver Superbowl (back in the day, when Redskins actually won games) beautiful city, awesome weather--I'm jeaulous. 20" of snow here on the east coast, but Christmasy feel I suppose!

My 'rosary bead' / fingerprinted sub is back! Hope it gets the hook. Thanks all for your forum and happy holidays.

I wonder if the guy bought it second-hand and doesn't know any better.

The actual watch doesn't look bad. It just doesn't match the papers.
