Watch out for Rolex scams

You would think that if someone on the bay wanted to scam you by placing the exact same photo of a watch that recently sold, they would at least take the copyright of the photograph off
check out item 230115549279 - sold for $4,500
and now look at item 130105634138 - buy it for $3,300

Someone's up to no good!!

Watchgeek what you mentioned is much commonly found on ebay and IMO only people who frequently surf for ebay lisings and have got thorough knowledge of rolexes should dare to purchase rolex from ebay. But this is sure on ebay if you are wise enough you would get the best deals on Rolex Watches.

Even I thought of doing so. Our vigilance can make ebay a safe place to buy.

I only purchase my rolex watch from someone I trust -- just wanted to raise a flag on ebay for those of you who might have been considering this purchase (I almost purchased the watch from Hess the first time around)

Ebay scares me. I think ADs are worth the premium for peace of mind.

Stolen pictures are common for selling stuff that all looks alike anyway.
