Real or fake Sub?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Oyster-Per...item4aad14bc03

I have never seen a Sub like this. The seller states it is a custom bezel, but the dial doesn't seem right to me for some reason. Thoughts?

No way any seller would sell 'Rolex-issued' diamond bezel Sub for 3,000.00

Thus it should be fake!

Hello. Firstly, great site, very helpful and informative. Has anyone reported to eBay then if think it's fake? By the way how can you tell from a few not that close photos?
New to these forums and unsure of protocols. It seems from reading through a number of different forums there is a good deal of opposition to using eBay at all.

I would say the best guess is the watch is fake but it is hard to make a complete judgement on the head based on the photos. The band is definitely counterfeit - check out the thumbnail recess on the clasp.

Lots of small details point to a fake. One rather large detail is the bezel, truly atrocious on this watch. Welcome to TRF!
