Icon11 Is this a fake Tudor Watch

I bought a watch through ebay, but on receiving the watch, I suspect a fake replica.

Here is a link to the photos on the Ebay site I purchades it, is this a fake watch?

It's a fake and illegal dial which infringes trademark laws, Rolex and Tudor on the same dial, refinished badly and aftermarket diamonds. That's enough to turn me off buying it. Who knows what movement it has inside

Icon20 hi

What is a pos fake? please remember new users don't know your acronyms..?




I am knew to buying Rolexs and yes i make mistakes and have bought a few bad ones.

I am reading and educating myself as to what to look out for why buying a luxury watch.

I posted here to check on my own decision that this and the other one was fake, Plus you learn from others replies that are constructive, and not spoilers (always running you down)

Like I have learnt from the poster that looked up then name of one of the people I bought from and found they had tried to sell several fakes....

I also posted here as a reference for other users old or new, hence the included photos. Something you do to give back to forums you are a memeber of, as I have learnt from other forums you dont just take, but I am aware you will get hindsight police and trolls running you down.

It is the old rule, just ignore them and keep on contributing to the forum...........

thank you to those who have given constructive replies and aid..

I think based on history, he bought a Rolex from ebay, and upon receiving it, the case back had engraving which was a sign that it was a fake.

Since then, the ebay site that he originally bought the fake watch from also has other lightings of fake watches.

Why waste thousands of dollars and learn everything the wrong way. You say you appreciate constructive replies. Well, then my advice to you is to never buy anything from Ebay again until you know what you are doing.

You can´t cut corners. Go through this sites eminent archives and learn about watches before bidding.

By the way, I still think you are having a laugh.

I suspect a troll here...

The OP has started a number of threads now stating that they have purchased at least two obvious fakes... And then a third wanting hints on yet another obvious fake.

Just 13 posts and all in the 'watch out' section...

But to top it off, in another thread he is handing out advice as to how to spot a fake Daytona...

Do you normally beast every new poster on here?

You and other negative poster seem to be doing the Trolling, what is it you fear from buyer being eductated about the watches the might buy?

Why do you seem to want to limit people resources to buy from?

Why do you shoot down other peoples post, what hidden agenda have you got?

JTG - people here are trying to steer you away from making poor choices multiple times over. If you truly are buying these, repeatedly, then you either need to learn what to look out for (which takes time) or go to someone trusted that will do the due diligence and keep an eye out for you.

Last option is that you know these are fakes and are trying to play games - not saying this is what you are doing but sometimes that is how people troll. People have done that in the past and it usually gets sniffed out sooner or later. The M.O. is similar.

Onion,

I don't know you. But you seem eager to defame me a new poster to this forum, why?

This section is watchout and includes discusion about watches, as to legitiomacy, authenticity, replication or conducting of fraud.

I post two of my purchases here to have the experienced people here confirm my suspicion that they was fake Rolex. I decided they was but I need people with greater experience of the two watches posted!

I realise I can not know everything in the world so I am always learning, I am not as lucky as yourself who is alway right!, By the way can you tell me the winning numbers for next months, English million pound lettory, this month in advance?

I was not aware that you are the forum Troll hunter, have you by chance watched or read the Salom witch trials? I seem to be getting flash backs..

You have posted comments in several of my threads, is it your normal practise to hijack other peoples threads?

Can I ask what emperical datum lead you to the conclusion, that since I was unsure of the the two other watches I would not refrence to checks elsewhere on the Internet as to the back case of the Rolex Daytona?


Lastly is this your normal greating to new members on the form or is there a click? I have upset?

Bunion,

You have posted the same comment across my forum threads, are you a troll trying to inflame me, or trying to get people to only buy off a chosen few on this forum? Why are you multiply posting across my threads and off topics? You do not contribute but only gain say!

I wish for you a good day and may you live in interesting times..
