seller bradley196510 ( 0 ) and has been a member of ebay for one day

I sent him this message "Hi,

I may be interested in your watch but there are a lot of scams here with Rolex, before I bid can you please post a pic with the hands set to 12.30, just so I can bid knowing that you do have the watch.

thanks
Michael"

I think I'll pass on this one Pav....or maybe not?? I just received this in response to my question

"i do have the watch and i cant post any more pics of the watch as this is best that my camera will take and it comes with papers and the original box and all the tags so no need to worry it all here waiting for you to place bids on the watch

- bradley196510"

Not really a reason there to not post any more pictures. It is reassuring though to know that it is all there waiting for me to bid on.

Now he is my buddy, I'll send him another message stating that I will bid BUT only if I can pick up in person. He is only around 20 miles from me.

...Norman...NEITHER of the...

...pic's or the description match your link.

...so far, this one continues to look like the real deal.

...since Michael is only 20 miles away, he should INSPECT the watch before the auction ends, to confirm it's existence and authenticity.

It may look like the real deal but he is NOT answering any of my emails, this one sent yesterday "OK, I can understand if you have camera problems. I would like to bid and win this and I will but only if I can pick up the watch in person, I am only around 20 miles from you. Please confirm this is OK"

and this one sent today around 10 hours ago "as you can see I am bidding on your watch and
would really like to win it, but I need to be sure
this is not a scam, can I come and have a look at
the watch or can you pls post a picture with it
set to 5.30 so I can be sure you have the watch.
thanks
michael"

NO response received. I have placed a number of bids fb score (148) and the price is being driven by newcomers and/or by low or zero feedback members, surprise surprise.

I will keep you posted, and if I actually receive a SS Daytona for a couple of grand I'll post some pictures......

I agree Stan -

I was referring to the description. Those pics are hard to find!

Did my telling eBay that watch doesn't have an alarm did any good? Probably not.

The reason given by ebay is

"170457643275 - MENS BRANDNEW ROLEX DAYTONA WATCH 116520

has been removed by eBay for violating of one or more of our policies. Any offers or bids placed on this listing are now null and void. Because the auction was ended, you as a bidder are not required to complete the transaction"

The listing stated that the watch was Hand Winding? I asked the seller about it and this was the reply:

please read the description as it states all the information on the watch that you need to know


- bradley196510


A little unhelpful to say the least.

This if proof positive FleeBay is in on the scam. Why was this clown's account not banned? I know it makes FleeBay's register ring.

If this perp would put as much effort into honest work he'd be worth more than Warren Buffett.
