UK eBay GMT 2 Ceramic 116710LN Super clone?

Just lurking on eBay...

is this one of them super clones on UK eBay?

* cant post link but the ebay item number is: 163971224736 *


1)The font on the warranty card seem to be wearing off
2)The bezel numbers are look quite thin compared to my GMT
3)The lug fitment
4)The date window and dial looks off, looks not as clear as mine cant put my finger on it.
5)The indices on the rehaut don't align with the middle of the letters "rolexrolexrolex' and whats even weirder is the font of the serial looks like its different to the rest of the writing on the rehaut

Whats shocking is an Ebay member of such feedback trying to flog this!

Although I could be wrong, but thats whats obvious to me having my GMT to hand and comparing it.

I've seen loads of super clones on ebay but they've mostly been black sub dates. Never seen a GMT before so thought -if I am right- id warn you.

Cheers

Hi Everyone!! The seller is me - I have just been notified by a member on Ebay that the watch may be a fake. It has completely shocked me sideways and has been a little shaken in all honesty. My wife is now panicking. I paid £8,000 for this from another ebay member who had over 90 stars feedback going by the name graciesmummy09. His name is Shaun Richard Keeling. He sent me lots of photos of the watch, even did a video of the watch and there was nothing to suggest it was a fake. An ebay member has notified me that it may be a fake so I am literally panicking now.

Hi guys,5XZ is visible on the clasp.

I have reported it to action fraud, ebay, and my bank for full investigation.

A Local AD today confirmed it is the best clone they have seen for a GMT2.

Anyone know anyone that can track someone down? i have the sellers passport details.

Sorry to hear.

So did you purchase without seeing the watch in person?

Hope you get your money back.

Its the random bracelet date code.

Must be a known fake code to some (I didnt know it)
But you can see it here, if yours looks like this and is stamped 18Kt gold assay marks, its an obvious fake

Did you read the thread?

1) There was the OP - he NEVER bought anything only reporting.
2) An innocent seller that had bought it on eBay (yes he got a refund)
and
Now the original seller having another go - (note this is not the innocent seller in (2) above) - However this time I got the original seller closed
