Found one on our forum...

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=477229

I tried to let the seller know that the items (card, warranty certificate, manuals & tag) are fake. Watch looks about right though. What do you all think?

The more I look at it... I am also starting to be suspicious of the clasp as well? Look at the texture of the inner clasp. Something doesn't look right here.

The whole thing's fake.
The seller probably doesn't know it.
Open the watch and see. This is the latest fake from China.
They are sold for couple of hundreds in the Philippines, China and HongKong.
The Chinese fakes are getting sophisticated now. Even the movement are made to resemble to Rolex one.

Well, the seller and I exchanged few messages. He thinks I am crazy. He's sold a few watches already on the forum which worries me. Can you forward this to one of the mods?

It may be.
I suspect it was removed while TRF confirms or denies its authenticity.

Personally to me with those photos, I could not tell.

Has it been possible to track his past buyers? If there really is any? To inform them

He's been banned (thanks Ken ) but in case he uses the name again elsewhere, or if anyone already bought from him, his username was Timeless86.

I received a PM from him soliciting business on a DJ. It was baseless (spam)and I reported the PM. Seems he was active.

His email is:e.moss86@gmail.com and he resides in Nashville Tennessee. Again his watch was definitely a replica and was easy to detect if one looked closely at it. It had not only poor bezel, engraved reheat, fake clasp etc but all accessories were fake as well. The good news is he had only been here for a short stay and now he is gone. He claimed he thought it was real but I don't buy that at all as his story made little sense. As always people here should only deal with sellers with long history and solid feedback - can't stress that enough! Lastly if you do a WTB ad know that you are opening yourself up to a world of scammers.

WTB ad got me nothing but a slew of mails from people who I'd never heard of that had exactly what I was looking for.
