Fake 2 Tone Sub on EBAY

Any buyers here, beware ...this is a fake..This is a great lesson in identifying fakes, real time!!

Say to your $$!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting


1) Buyer is too new ... only thing I would buy with this low feedback would be a cigarette lighter!

2) check the crown guards .. dead giveaway ...

3) Look at the U in the dial .. sort of discolored ...

4) the box has a very cheesy ROLEX engraving on the inside ...

Lets see what others can spot ...

If you read the text so did it say the watch have a ETA movement.

That is enough for me, then I don´t look more at the POS.

Look at his previous posts, He sold a fake Breitling to another user. He uses authentic Breitling photos most likely ripped from the Actual Breitling Website, that has the day/date. But look at the actual watch he was presenting, it has no day/date and the Breitling box is a ripoff. I own a Breitling with the new Bake Lit Box, the letters are too small on the ebay auction.

In the spirit of the holiday, I will use an obscure reference from Charles Dickens:

This is what the ebay seller is doing as he goes to his bank. Once he sells the $80 Replica for $1,500

I am shocked that a crook would try to sell something from Istanbul.

There aren't many correct things about that auction. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Please read carefully, there is nothing telling that watch is authentic! It says that box is original and photos are original which means, photos belong to the item that you buy. A little bit word game I know otherwise who will pay 1525+ USD for a Folex =))) Word game with hiddenly teling that it is fake :
ETA Machinery, automatic kinetic movement... ehehe

Regardless, selling a replica or non-authentic timepiece that is based on the real thing is still not allowed on ebay. This post is kind of like a murderer who tries to blame his bad deed on his sleeping pills. Since he supposedly was sleepwalking when he committed the murder he has no prior knowledge of the events. Just because someone doesn't state that it is authentic doesn't mean it should be validated and someone get screwed out of their hard earned cash.

I honestly didn't think you could do stuff like this on Ebay - I guess they don't really police themselves (and, as I think about it, how could they?) Well, all the ADs will use this as justification for less and less discounting.
