More aftermarket Rolex dials etc...

You're the man Gladiator!

Another large inventory.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/322393757579

At least half of these are genuine so I don't know why you reported them all.

My bad, I did not study each one closely.
The original is now removed!

Too late. All removed by eBay. The problem with this sub forum is it's too easy to throw mud. I don't know this company but at first glance they appeared to be a legitimate company with a couple of refinished dials but mostly genuine parts. Now all removed from eBay. That was someone's business.

Yes, I accept I should have checked more closely, BUT the first lot were surely fake.
Even you state only some 50% were possible genuine - so seller is surely selling fake parts in abundance.
BUT
I accept it is better to be more careful.

I probably can get them all re-instated

I assumed they would be sorted through by someone more knowledgeable than me. But someone who takes their business seriously should not be selling aftermarket dials with Rolex printed on them as well. More than likely illegal.

It is not illegal. Restoring or refinishing dials has been an excepted form of restoring dials for decades and decades. Fake dials are made from non Rolex blanks.
