1680 ebay.....dial looks strange
this is minutes away from closing but the dial looks odd to me. The t swiss text at the bottom seems too large and the red submariner text seems too long in relation to the text immediately below it.....am i paranoid or do we need to report this? Please note how the seller wants cash or wire in excess of 5k....smells like a rat to me.

I did. Chipped outer ring lines were a nice touch. The text was wrong. The Swiss marking at the bottom was the wrong size. Wire request was also a clue. I looked at it and compared to mine....numerous issues. I always look to text alignment as a clue. This one was 80% there. Pretty soon we will not know or has it happened already?

Almost there.....sub text too far over text below. Swiss marking at bottom too large.

Swiss marking too close to the rehaut is a dead giveaway.
Even when the rest is good that seems to be too close and the hash marks are not visible between the Swiss and rehaut. |

Looks just like one listed here in watchout a few days ago, was purchased on eBay from watchgroupcorp, who is now banned here and subsequently changed his name on eBay.
