1675 GMT misrepresented by Top Rated Seller as "100% Original no issues no AF parts."
Err buddies...but the Top Rater Seller's claims are NOT true...
 http://cgi.ebay.com/1965-ROLEX-GMT-1...item43a098d1cd 1st up...the Bezel Insert for one is Aftermarket... It is NOT original Rolex...  2ndly...the End Links n Buckle are NOT original Rolex... n perhaps the entire Bracelet assembly is NOT original as well...

I can see that the blue and red band is off center on the eight at the bottom. Is that a tip off?
Nice catch I wish I could sopt like you. |

A report was sent to L.C. , I doubt that the weekend boys on Ebay will appreciate the arguments and pull this listing . We'll see.

Great catch Buddy Orchi......
Wonderful seeing your post. The '2's are the most obvious indicator of aftermarket bezel insert. The bracelet/endlinks looks like crap too. |

The seller states that it 100% original with no aftermarket parts. I concur with Orchi. He needs to be taken to the wood shed.

Just so I know what is it about the bezel insert that tells you it is not original Rolex manufactured?

hoping all is well for you... You may have missed this thread posted in the Library... http://************/showthread.php?t=119682 In this case the obvious clue... is when the top of "2" fonts on the bezel insert is big n heavy... that's a fakeee...
