like new air-king on ebay

Hi, this guys says its been worn only about 20 times, but I never have seen a 13 year old rolex with a green sticker on the back that looks perfect. Usually the gold wears off really quick, so would that make this a really good fake?

Can't those stickers be bought today? But, if he bought the sticker and put it on the watch to sell, that's like a minor deception and calls into question the rest of the description.

All of this is based on the assumption that the sticker is new.

If you do a search for "Rolex sticker" you'll find a lot more, but at this time there isn't one for this AK.

As is often said, buy the seller first. Nothing appears amiss in his feedback, albeit small ball sales, nor in the pictures of the Air-King itself.

If you're skeptical of the seller, look for a different watch. But I can't see anything worth reporting to eBay as a fake.

Ok, thank you!

Yes... buy the seller like Paul says and it's always been encouraged here. If something is telling you not to trust him, walk away. ;-)
