Rolex junk found in drawer

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-SUBMARINER...item588550b121

ROLEX SUBMARINER MENS WRISTWATCH - AS IS


We are selling this Rolex watch for a friend who found it in a drawer when he moved. It is a Rolex Submariner Oyster Perpetual Date. It has a blue face and bezel and a gold and stainless steel band. It is NOT WORKING and our friend does not remember why it doesn't work. The stem does not turn and the hands cannot be moved. There are no scratches on the face and the band shows normal signs of wear.

You'd think these people would take it to a dealer to find out what it is. "Found" , "Friend", "Drawer", If the friend doesn't remember why it works, and it was a real Rolex, Why do They have it? If it were my real Rolex, and the hands binded, I wouldn't hand it to a friend to sell without having it checked out. RED FLAGS***

He doesn't know why it doesn't work , I guess it just needs a new battery that's all

...here's the sellers reply...

..."We have received a number of questions regarding authenticity of this watch. We will look into having it authenticated by a Rolex dealer and will post results as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest."...

...this means...NO, they did NOT have the watch authenticated PRIOR to listing.

I have a feeling they might be in for a bit of a shock when it doesn't come back this needs to be canned!
