Red Sub on Ebay

Looks like two different watches in the pictures. The last photo has a caption but its too small to read who the picture was stolen from.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171976901284...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

30 bids already and the seller has zero feedback.

That crystal looks WAY off, maybe just the lighting but very suspicious.

Yeah, pictures are from different watches. Listings where you cannot enlarge picures always are suspicious anyway.

He's using a picture from Rolex Passion Report as the first photo. What a joke.

How would you report this? As a counterfeit? The fraudulent category is specifically for stolen goods, not truly for fraudulent listings.

His story doesn't match the watch....later bracelet, later crown...

His dad didn't win this and stick it in a drawer....

At least he has (ZERO) feedbacks !!

FRAUD ALERT

First photo is from the Rolex Passion Report, as noted above, and second photo (with redacted 215XXX serial number papers) is from Mark Lerman's Red Submariner Reference primer. Fake listing. I reported to ebay as fraud.

I'm scared to buy a RED over eBay. I feel like they are always fake.
