I have been looking at these watches and I have some concerns.

http://stores.ebay.com/v-luu44

Seller is in Arizona home of 1 of the best of the best of the fakers.
If you cache in google you get very similar items for sale from this seller and the famous forbidden website. Is it my eyes? What do they trained eyes say? My mind is made up what do you say?
Seller only takes bank wire a big no no on ebay

could you pm me the nake of the forbidden seller so I dont do business with him? Would be greatly appreciated, I do lots of online transactions.

The forbidden website has always given an address or location in Arizona, even though they are located in China or somewhere in Asia. Your suspicions are 100% correct Greek!

Also, this web site clearly states that most of the items they are selling are reproductions. Most of us law abiding people call their products counterfeit.

Lets start with the Gold bracelets on the gold sub and GMT do they look right? Seller claims 100% original.

20 hours to go on the GMT am I the only 1 that thinks these watches are franken watches?

TimeToGo · 7 November 2009, 09:27 AM

This seller has been reported in the past for listing w/fake bands before.

At least the band for the 16758 does not look original. Unfortunately (or rather smart by him) he did not post close up of the clasps nor reference numbers.

blaine mattison · 7 November 2009, 11:28 AM

going from memory

i believe that the gmt is missing some hall marks(

) on
the back of the case. and on the sub, i can't make them out.

18k, .750 purity scales and helvetia pre-1995

all the hallmarks from a past gmt as i remember were seperate and
ON 3 OF THE LUGS

i know thats the way presidents ARE!

The band is not all that concerns me.
The GMT listing ended with 15 hours to go

The sub is T serial 1997 and says .750 ?not to mention you cant make out the case stampings

blaine mattison · 7 November 2009, 11:35 PM

greek, i am talking about the case making on the gmt case itself. the fake
cases that i've seen in the past are brushed out SO you can't make out
the hallmarks

I just bought this watch from this seller!!!

crowncollection · 12 February 2012, 12:35 PM

He was also selling reproduction cases for any vintage model you want with Rolex hallmarks.

Goiguidoc · 12 February 2012, 07:25 PM

There are a lot of these sellers offering replacement parts, but with Rolex/Tudor hallmarks.
Fakers on EBay mix replacement cases/dials,... with original Rolex parts to fool buyers with rare models.
I reported several time to eBay these crooks, but they simply don't care...

dysondiver · 12 February 2012, 07:50 PM
