Err buddies...did the Seller mentioned which case series the watch belonged to...?

Were there any other pictures posted in the eBay listing...
besides these blurry ones...?



In this picture...did anyone notice the Dial looks to be ....inverted?





This pic was posted in TRF...Rolex discussion section...

In this picture also...the Dial looks to be...err...inverted?



Was it a camera trick...?
Was it a JOKE...?

The Dial looks to be an EARLY OVAL R"O"LEX...with 5 seconds minute indexes under the 6 o'clock marker...which is RARE...!

Err buddies...here's a picture showing the similar Dial...

16610 LV - EARLY F series Mk.1 Dial...courtesy of VRF market...
Seller is buddy Gianmaria...

A notable difference in the watch...is the FAT "4" font of the Green Bezel insert...




This other similar one can be found in TRF's Rolex Reference Library...

All the posts on the listing were fuzzy crappy and looked fake. When you're going to sell a $5K Rolex on SleezeBay you need to get pics that look real and not fake otherwise the garbageman will come looking for ya.

The mac's camera is not very good for quality auction pics. It also flips the image.
