Anyone pick this up - GMT Master 2

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ROLEX-OYSTER-...item1e5ea24878

Pictures are too far away to tell. All the important stuff are now shown. (Such as the original papers mentioned.)

It might very well be that the first pic shows a 100% genuine gmt. But I highly doubt that the watch in the pic is the watch he tries to sell.

That is the reason why I would stay far away from this one.

Well if you really want to, call the guy and meet at a local AD. Have the watch checked and go from there. Just my 2c

How about the disclosure:

PLEASE DONT ASK ME IF ITS REAL OR FAKE MY ANSWER WILL BE I DONT KNOW BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ME TO STATE THAT WITHOUT BEING THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER IT WAS GIVEN AS A ENGAGEMENT GIFT AND FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ITS FLAWLESS. IF YOU KNOW YOUR ROLEX WATCHES ONE LOOK IS ALL IT WILL TAKE

I missed that.

Sellers must be able to authenticate items that they are listing. We will see what they say.

The statement that "any reasonable offers above 1500 will be considered " seems a little low , when we know what these fetch in average . The seller has obviously access to internet / google and would find out it's commercial value in 5 minutes . Then the 1500 would really become what it is set out to be .. quick outside Ebay deal .
Is the 99 bucks worth the gamble ?

This is a scam, there are a couple pics of a real gmt, but the clasp pictures are not from a gmt iic. The only price this is worth is as much as you would like to loose, has anyone reported this? the seller obviously knows its a fake/scam

The first picture is of a 116710LN; all the rest are of a 16710 (old model GMT)

Definately a scam

Someone got to Ebay with a result : nice one ! This listing (130436712568) has been removed, or this item is not available.
