Poor guy!

The seller must have paid a fortune for this junk watch...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-SUBMAR...#ht_4805wt_922

THIS WATCH HAS MOSTLY AFTERMARKET PARTS AND THE ONLY ORIGINAL PART IS THE MOVEMENT/DIAL, IT WAS PURCHASED BY ME AS A GENUINE ROLEX WATCH FROM ANOTHER DEALER BUT UPON CLOSER INSPECTION IT TURNED OUT TO HAVE AFTERMARKET HANDS/CROWN/CASE/BEZEL/INSERT SO WHAT'S LEFT TO BE ORIGINAL IS ONLY THE MOVEMENT AND THE DIAL WHICH IS ORIGINAL SINGER BUT REPRINTED, SO PLS. MAKE IT BE KNOW I'M SELLING  AS AFTERMARKET AND IN NO WAY INTERPRETING OR PRESENTING IT AS AN ORIGINAL ROLEX 6538, JUST HOPING TO RECOVER SOME OF MY COST FROM MY END, AN AFTERMARKET WATCH BEING SOLD FOR WHAT YOU WILL ALSO SPEND TO CUSTOM MAKE ONE FOR YOURSELF AND A FRACTION OF WHAT AN ORIGINAL ONE WILL BE.

I like his honesty, but I would rather spend $4,500 on an original Rolex

Poor guy indeed but he`s not going to sell that watch to me for even a fraction of $4,500 with a story like that.

Agree, No one will pay such a big amount for a junk watch.

he is still selling a fake Rolex on ebay no matter how sad the story behind it is...and trying to sell it for 4500usd puts his tale of woe into serious doubt in my mind

smells too fishy
