Suspect TT Sub....

I laughed when I read this one...

It looks legit...Not quite sure though...

Seller info
the_xporter

This watch was fund in a lock glove box compartment of a salvage 996 porsche. I did try to contact the owner of the car after I purchase the car, but the person seem to have died in the car accident and his wife could not tell me anything about the watch. I don't even think she new what I was talking about.

Lets come back to the watch. I cannot change the time on it because the crown seems jam. The watch would need a nice polish jobs.

I want to a dealer and the wanted to charge me 650 for polishing and 1200.00 for repair. I would not spend 50.00 on a watch even less 1850.00 on repairing one.
The dealer also told me the watch was about 5 to 7 years old

I will try to post better pictures from another camera since I am having problems doing closeup with mine. If you have any questions email me.

That's what I was thinking, I don't like the story though, sounds like a load of crap!

STORY and Q&A

Question & Answer Answered On

Q: Hi. Have you verified AUTHENTICITY with either an authorized Rolex dealer or an authorized Rolex repairman?? Thanks, SE. Jan-23-10
A: they are kind of rare in Vermont. And I call one up in montreal and the guy wanted close to a 1000.00. The lady's husband did not really want did not want to talk about it too much. Give me hints of what to look for if you know and I will be happy to take pictures if I can of what you are asking. I am sorry, I'm in the car business. That is why I am selling this watch with no reserve. It does not really have any value to me.

its defo a fake..

open 6 date font, bezel pearl, ill fitting insert sitting proud on the bezel- hence wear, crown is too big, end links attaching to the clasp are hollow- not solid, gold on the SEL runs out on the underside and you can clearly see the sides of the middle SEL are not gold, looking side on the crown sits too low in the case, brass showing through on the clasp..and much more! its bad..

bin it...

edit: to be 100% specific.. it's a watchmaker9 "2005 2 Tone Submariner 16613" (2nd bottom from the page)..

I still say it looks pretty good...Fraken at best? Looks too good to be 100% fake.
