The band was ordered to be made and sent to the Rolex.

This is so bad, it's almost insulting. No seller feedback, $5,499 for this garbage?? $120 shipping??? And as a bonus, it does not need a battery!

Calgon, take it away!!!

I'm undecided; I need more pictures and information. I don't like the seller's situation; never sold before and last activity was in 07.

This will tell a lot. A scammer will be on a Arctic expedition and doesn't have his camera.

From what i can see/infer, she is saying the band was specially made for the watch/case. She isn't claiming the band is specially made by Rolex.

The watch yes, the band no; the real question does the seller have the watch.
