To be honest that looks pretty genuine from the pictures.

How can you tell it's a fake??

- She originally listed (and provided) the serial number as an 'M' series
(Deepsea, I am told by forum members did not come out until V series) She removed this from the listing when I challenged her on it

- She does not have a plastic warranty card
- She does have a warranty document with no serial number stamped into it
- She has a receipt from the supplying AD in Paris, however on the receipt the company's name is misspelt with 2 separate spelling mistakes
- When her last auction was closed down by Ebay, she immediately opened this one under a different user name but with exactly the same description and location etc..
- On the original listing, she offered me a $2000 discount because she 'couldn't find' the warranty card

Suspicious I think!

Just to add, I think that in a couple of the pictures you can see the LEC, a sure sign it's a fake (it's near impossible to catch it in a photograph unless you're a very skilled photographer). Look at the 3rd and 8th pictures and you'll see what I am referring to.

I also think the engraving on the clasp looks off, in fact from the pictures it looks the same as the clasp in this thread:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=204388

My opinion is that's it's fake.

Regards,
Simon

By following this forum for awhile, I have noticed that bad photography is not a sign of a bad photographer, but an attempt to hide or make imperfections difficult to spot.

Probably the second most common tactic used by charlatans is the claim that they know nothing about the watch or watches in general, followed by a sob story about the death of a loved one from whom the watch was inherited.

She just sent me an email to say 'I don't know who you are, I am just selling my fathers watch he, ..... has just passed away' !

Don't know why Ebay haven't removed it yet?

Her first listing was removed. The 2nd one is still going. Someone is going to have a very crappy Christmas if this doesn't get pulled. Are a few of you reporting it?

In one of the pictures, the watch is shown against a picture on a booklet, and you can clearly see that the number 3 on the booklet bezel does not match the 3 on the watch bezel.
