First its not a rare watch and his description IMHO is mainly all Internet hype.

Only 44 recomendations and for all kinds of different things such as hoddies and the like.

I wouldn't buy from this seller.

Nothing rare about one of these, nothing at all. That the 'dial is stuck' seems a bit weird. I'd keep looking, there are plenty around.

I would personally try to find one from a trusted seller on this forum rather than trying to find one on eBay.

I find strange to have a credit card format warranty document, for a 2006 Rolex watch.

+1
(BTW, TRF'ers who sell here and on eBay will often give a better price for a TRF member deal here since no fees, etc.)

Seller states it is a mark 1 dial, but clearly in the first picture it is not a mark 1. It should have a paper warranty work, but instead has a card. Has all plastics according to the seller, yet bezel won't turn. Too many things do not add up.
