for future references. I also reported the auction already. So it should be down pretty soon.

Well, not everyone is a WIS, but the sellers feedback is pretty bad and thin and the hour markers, case back, bezel all look real bad

It should be flagged and killed

I reported once a fake to on Ebay . . . .
They never ever reported it or cancelled the auction . . .
So watch out.

It has a counterfeit box, hang tag and warranty paper. The dial is fake, the winding crown is the large fake variety and the band is counterfeit.

Good find.

They haven't even bothered to put a 'Crown' on the crown, even the $20 fakes at least attempt that...

It looks like it was a maxi-case before they made maxi-cases . Seriously, that's a thick case.

Wow! What a POS! The case, the crown, the date magnification, the bracelet, etc.

Good job everyone

I reported this listing when it first went up last week, but eBay didn't pull it. Glad to see enough pressure got them to do the right thing.

I hope the seller doesn't try selling it privately. In the old days, eBay use to post that an item had been removed if it was deemed a fake. Now they just give a generic excuse.
