A red bezel on a sub?

Seller claims its a special edition and all original rolex. Any comments? I have never seen one that I thought was real, but I don't claim to be an expert. Sellers response to a question was vague to say the least.

Thanks

That's what I thought. Seller claims 100% authentic Rolex and was a "special edition" in 2003????

Purchased in 2003. Yet, no B&P or receipt. How do you know when it was purchased?

Run Forest Run!

`no such thing as a special red edition,seller is full of sh*t.

At the very least the bezel is counterfeit.

Seller responded to me that he is going to revise his description. We shall see. Also forward again his note to Ebay.

Thanks for all of the responses
