Does this look legit?
Hi guys,
Looks 'off' to me... Cyclops not magnifying correctly and 12 o'clock marker is off line... But has good feedback... Thoughts? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/310373291...84.m1423.l2649 |

That is a shocker.
What are these guys doing? Endlinks are hand made. What's inside it?

Dropped them a note inquiring about it and whether it was genuine and their response was "we don't sell fake junk"...hmmmm
Seller is anaheimjewelry and they have good feedback...but as for this one???? |

But they didn't say 'We don't sell junk' did they.

I understand...it's not to my taste either...and has been relisted > http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayIS...m=310375017720
To the OP, Brad and family are actually good sellers. I have bought from and sold to them. In candor, he points out the custom work. If you're considering it, maybe ask about the crystal if you think it might be aftermarket.

Thanks 77T et al,
Brad from anaheimjewelry has been gracious in replying and apologising for his initial curt e-mail (but qualified that he does get a number of 'nutters' writing to him...and not sure if he excluded me from this category or not...laugh) And nope, not considering it, not my 'cup of tea' so to speak... Cheers, Ian |

Well, you might email him back and tell him that acutally, he is selling "fake junk". That bracelet/clasp is not aftermarket. It is COUNTERFEIT.

So many things wrong with it besides being ugly! Clasp or fake clasp has micro holes that run down the whole length of the clasp, on most 16610 there is a gap in the middle of the micro holes(some of the older series had micro holes the full length without a space but this piece isn't that old) and the drivers clasp looks to have a way too big area to put your fingernail to release it! Those home made endlinks and the horrible pins that are holding them to the case! Not sure about the rest but money sure can't buy class!

Looks actually like the diamond indexes would be the result of photoshop gone bad!

Also, looks like the 12 o'clock marker is a little off-center, especially on the magnified photos.

The bracelet is not original rolex.. his description can be misleading down on the bottom of description it says
"Authenticity: As to authenticity, ALL OF OUR WATCHES ARE 100% AUTHENTIC! Some custom or aftermarket ACCESSORIES such as certain diamond dials, diamonds bezels, and bands are AFTERMARKET / CUSTOM or AUTHENTIC FACTORY ROLEX so READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION to be sure you know what you are buying." |
