My concerns:
Not all the minute markers go through till the inner edge of the case, the bezel seems to sharp, the guy always talks about a 1971, but case back is engraved 70 and serial No. also rather points to 1970 and finally Iam not too sure about the band. |

Could be a lazy description as it was done with eBay mobile...BUT buy the seller...
I wouldn't buy this unless I lived in same city and could meet up personally. Just because he has nice photos doesn't mean that's what we are going to get ( I know everyone knows this ) just sayin' |

I would stay away or only do a face to face buy. I do not see an engraved rehaut although earlier M serials did not have the engraving, but a M29XXXX should have it. I also do not like the SEL's as they attach to the case in the caseback shot. The guy only has feedback as a buyer -- so you can't buy the seller in this case.

Not fake , but something doesn't add up .
You can see the box holds documents referring to a Rolex dealer in New Orleans ( Aucoin Hart ) and the warranty document is from Selfridges in London ? The plexi watch stand makes think that the pictures could be stolen from a professional seller . |

Holy smokes TRF!!! We could solve the centuries greatest crimes with this team. Something about it stuck out, I think what drew me in we're the gloves and his description. I even emailed him and he responded with a "hello."

WOW, I emailed him EARLY this morning before I posted here offering $2250 for the LV, and if it was authentic. He just emailed me back, and this is his reply:
"yes it is [authentic]. because im in a bad financial situation i will take that offer [of $2250]. would you like me to send you an invoice on paypal for payment ? it has to be done through paypal because i havent had recent transactions and ebat will hold money for 21 days. i will mark item as paid by you and overnight ship today if you agree thanks." He doesnt realize that Paypal is the safest method for me to call BS when HIS watch never shows up. This is too funny.

If hes using a fake / stolen Paypal account he doesnt care if Paypal is safe for you or not. Once he gets the money he wont send you anything or if he does it'll be fake or not a watch at all.
