Fake, Right?

Not even sure why I'm asking. I'm no expert, but I can already spot a few things that seem wrong with it (number fonts, weights, etc.)

Anyhow, any master spotters wanna weigh in?

Crazy, though, the guy has 1000+, 100% positive feedback. Hacked account? Is this common on eBay?

That's crazy. The watch is obviously fake, but the seller has over 1000 feedback at 100%. He honestly may not know its a fake.

That's what I'm saying! The more I use eBay, the more I think the feedback system doesn't work.

I'm shocked too - can't always go by feedback rating.

Yes, it's a bad replica and if you look at the seller's other items he appears to be a good eBayer in his area of expertise (mechanical things).

In the spirit of communication I contacted the seller to explain that it's fake.

Mods: This belongs in the Watch Out area to help others her on TRF.

I'm guessing hacked account. People will browse seller with high feedback and hack them. Look at other sales and they are all fine. Or he doesn't know watches. Either or

His father left him "a lot of property and expensive cars and this watch", but apparently not a nail-file and hygiene etiquette. Looks like dude need a shower....

Reported.

You are kinder than me.

A seller with this feedback should know better IMO.

This feedback could just move a buyer to purchase a fake and this is the opposite of how it should be.
