Beautiful genuine rolex oyester watch sub second.

Seller states:
"The brand of the actual watch is Oyster. The brand of the movement is Rolex. Guaranteed 100% authentic."

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-OYESTER-WA...item53de013444

The seller has a decent rating, but since he doesn't seem to deal with watches a whole lot, I thought it might be suspect.

I wouldn't know where to start, so walk me through these. I was going through ebay and saw that this looked "odd" and then add to that the seller's history, I thought it was a bit suspicious.

Am I on the right track with these, or am I just annoying you guys.

Tell me soon, because I have many more that I have found on Ebay that are similar to this one.

If you google the Oyster Watch Company, it shows that the casebacks were signed as such back in the late 1930s - early 40s.

This may be good, but the dial may be refinished.

Thank you.
