KAKA. It also looks like our seller could use a spelling lesson as well.

Prior to posting here, I contacted the seller and asked for the first few digits of the watch's serial number. The first response I received was "69173". With that, I replied that this was the model number, not the serial number. To that I received the question, "Where do I find the serial number?" I wrote back with the location of the SN as being 1) on the certificate or 2) on the case. I have not heard back yet as to whether or not the seller wishes to learn or disclose the serial number, if such a thing exists on this particular watch.

By posting here and showing what I believe to be a fake, I am not implying expert status. However, if I didn't have strong suspicions based on the seller's ignorance, a number of components of the listing itself, and the generally sloppy construction of the watch, I would not post. If I am wrong and can learn something from the expertise of others, I welcome the opportunity for elucidation and will gladly stand duly corrected.

The 69173 might raise the question. Isn't that a two tone model or was their an SS only? This doesn't look like a two tone.

Took a while bit it has departed

This listing (260554471785) has been removed, or this item is not available.

The big giveaway on this little fungus is the date magnification and date font, the winding crown is set wrong and crooked meaning it aint attached to genuine Rolex movement, the grade of the steel on the case is as dull as hell compared to the genuine, and that dial where do I start :-)
