I'm new to the rolex game...how can you tell it's a foney? Cheers.

ijen0311 · 13 May 2009, 10:33 AM

I'd say color looks sketchy...

onkyo · 13 May 2009, 10:38 AM

Box is fake too.

tszyu#1 · 13 May 2009, 12:05 PM

I'm no expert, but maybe it's just poor lighting? The box would dismiss it automatically as fake? The low buy it now price is maybe a red flag, I don't know

diablojota · 13 May 2009, 12:11 PM

Buyer hasn't sold anything or bought anything in over a year, I'm saying hijacked account. The buy it now price isn't low.
Box is a fake. Watch is 99% likely a fake too. All the pics are way too fuzzy. And they are selling 3 high-end watches? No this is a scam, Steve.

I searched his phone # and got this result:
eBay: Find Marble Table in the Antiques , Furniture , Tables , Post-1950 ... Robert Brand (954) 404-0324. 2503 NW 72 AVE. Miami, Fl 33122. www.brandengland.net

Maybe legit?

Hate to rain on the parade, but the box is genuine and I don't see anything indicating the watch is fake. But, that doesn't mean there isn't a scam in progress. I'll let the sleuths figure that one out, as I do it enough during the daytime hours, and it's about time to visit the hot tub.

I'm sorry, but for the model ranges of both the Rolex watches he's selling, the boxes are incorrect. The watches are fake though. The pictures are fuzzy and the 50th anniversary sub is incorrect. Look at one of the pics of the bracelet, there's some fit issues with it.

So, what is fake about the box? I've never seen, a fake box with suede lining and pillow, fakes are cloth. Here is a pic of a typical fake box of this variety. Also, on the fakes, the Rolex Oyster printing is usually stamped in the wrong location on the box (bottom right corner)- but, this is not always the case - sometimes the fake boxes are stamped in the proper location.

...the Subs are GENUINE, to include the bands.

...I made a post to the other thread as well.

Woops...

thanks for your input John & Stan!

All is good here....

diablojota · 13 May 2009, 02:15 PM

Thanks guys. I'm still skeptical about the watches actually being in the possession of that seller or the legitimacy of the transaction. The pictures are way blurry and the lack of sales for over a year bothers me.
