Reported it again. Bad Rolex.....Go stand in the corner.........You aren't wanted anymore.

It was a long day in Lansing plus driving home to Harbor Springs is over three hours so I am exhausted. Send me some more trash to remove.

Should an M series have a certificate or a warranty card?

I wonder if she happened to find a picture with the dial set to 10:12??
strange

also notice that the description eludes to the seller being a SHE but her screen name is "superDUDE so, would that make the "she" a "he" or....?

....Pwrslider, Steve....

....like you, I was under the impression that ALL M series were engraved on the ring. HOWEVER, look at the for sale ads by Springer. He purchased an M series that has NO engraving. He contends that NOT all M series have the engraving. I cannot figure it out either.....go figure....

Hmm Stan, my M3xxxx GMT2 16710 has no engraving and to the best of seeing many 16710 M serials on ebay and elsewhere (e.g. here), none has engraving.
I have read somewhere (can't remember where ...) that the old GMT2 line has no engravings. Mileage on other models varies.

I am not dis agreeing with you about the engraving be absent on some m's,
what I am saying is strange is the fact that on her auction the watch photoed has no engraving yet the pictures supposedly of the same watch that she sent me do have the ingraved rehaute...

Just had another look at this one, The watch seems to look the part, but , It says it comes with warranty card, shows a pic of a certificate ? + check the colour of the Rolex seal cord . I would stay well away from this one ,

Very observant. That's the first thing that caught my eye also. This whole thing reeks of a scam yet the watch does look real. I still think it is a scam in some fashion. I think it is a troll for money deal where you think you will get a watch, as one does exist. It was cleverly photographed to look like a legitimate deal (this is where he screws up and puts the certificate in instead of the warranty card) then it's bid up, money is sent, person disappears to never be heard of again.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
