hi
see this ebay listing

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/111270739...84.m1423.l2648

i googled the text (sounded super knowledgeable).

that found me this

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=248992

someone has ripped off sale details from two years i'd say.

i messaged asking for a photo of the watch (hey maybe they bought it and are now selling it and using the original listing etc etc (as if)).

no reply to date.

Cheers and good spot.

"Hi, very nice watch.
Can I ask how long you have had it?
I am very interested and would like to know if I won would you meet at a rolex AD and/or bank to complete the deal. I am in Xxxxx which is not too far considering the type of watch.
Best

Smells really bad, kinda poopy like
A legitimate seller this "knowledgeable" usually caters to any request for photos or info....

Hi,
so no reply and the bidding is up to $8.5k or so. I don't think I'm being harsh in assuming this is straight up fraud. I'd presume a reply to an enquiry might be reasonable given the kind of watch we are talking about and there isn't one single unique photo there at all.

I reported it to ebay but lodging a complaint allowed for no detail to be expressed. As in I wasn't able to input any particulars at all.

Oh well. Good luck with that I guess. Nice watch though. Just a shame it doesn't (for all intents and purposes) exist.
