What don’t you approve of on the watch? It seems like a worn out 1675 and not bad

I can understand if you don't like the condition or the price, but if the seller is honest and the watch authentic...some buyer will make a deal, those two parties will probably both be happy..."One Mans' eBay Poop Is Another Man's Long-Desired Special Poop", after all.
If the watch or some element of it is suspected to be counterfeit, that's another story. But to me, nothing screams 'fake'. |

There are milsubs that look like that that are worth more than some people's Rolex collection.
Have some respect for something that was loved, that probably come with one hell of a story too. A good watch maker could easily restore that watch if desired. |

Can be potentially a nice piece, will need some money/work spent on it and the price reflects that

Huh, I really like that. New crystal, fix or replace hands. It will be awesome. And LAWW could bring that case back to life easy, although I’m fine w how it looks now. For $7k in this market...not bad at all.

It is right on the line between Long E and Gilt
The case has been MISERABLY HORRIBLY polished, badly from what should be a fat 1675 profile to almost down to an incorrect PCG. Enough that I have some misgivings on the case being legit (fonts are interestingly close but a little funky). IMO, not worth it at this price for a project.

I have doubt about the case. It’s really hard to polish a pointed CG to being square, which would take a lot of polishing, and it would lose proportion. Also, lug holes look unpolished, but the chamfers r gone? next, the stamping is too perfect for Rolex. As for the font, I am very doubtful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I like the nice touch of showing a Jubilee Bracelet in the photos but writing that it’s not included....Why even take a pic with it then?

The case is trashed and the dial and hands are in very poor condition. Look at the poor attempt to polish or "convert" the crown guards. It's so bad they look as if someone tried to make it into a pointed crown guard case.

The listing is removed... Guess the seller knows it's been found out.
