Sloppy Joe! Bullet points "borrowed" from Jewelersontime, and much more!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1182

This listing is a hodgepodge of photos and a description that doesn't add up at all. Where do I start??

1. Bezel is engine turned, not fluted
2. It is not the new heavy bracelet model, and he contradicts himself by first saying it is and then stating the model number as 79240
3. Roman numerals, not silver hour markers
4. Other dials available?? I doubt it.
5. Bullet points are lifted from Jewelersontime; can't tell origin of photos
6. And on and on and on

The guy isn't even trying! Men of TRF, lock and load!

I have also written and asked him if he'd meet me at an AD for authentication, no response.

No replies from this bottom-feeder. Time to get out the broom and sweep him into oblivion!

Regretfully what will most likely happen is that if you notified ebay that these are stolen pictures, ebay will respond with a canned response saying that the original owner of the photos must contact them or they wont do anything about it.

I have had this response sent to me

THAT is disappointing!! Hope Dave is successful at getting this thing out of here. Whoever does it, this needs to go.
