It's about as real as the YM you posted a couple of weeks ago.

I'm constantly scouring eBay looking for deals on Rolexes in general. Came across this one and figured I'd have to post it. Not that I'm looking for a Yachtmaster, I'm looking for any good deal (for resale).

This one looked almost identical to the one I posted last.

You obviously know nothing about Rolex watches. Do yourself a big favour and buy from a knowledgeable seller, like many on this good forum. And avoid Ebay at all costs. You will get your backside well and truly smacked with your cheap attitude and quest ;-)
No offense.

If this one looks almost identical to the last one, wouldn't that warn you off already?

No. I obviously know nothing about Yachtmasters. I have never bought one. I don't know that I ever will. However, I happen to know PLENTY about Datejusts. I can spot a fake DJ from a mile away.

Rather condescending don't you think?

Hence, my follow-up reply. "I'm leaning toward fake."

Watch out for ebay. Lots of fakes lately. Beware of low feedback sellers, or sellers which have feedback but only as buyers. Beware of fuzzy pictures, no B&P, Stories such as I inherited, my friend gave me, my friend´s watch, found this watch, estate sale, etc... Remember that YM white dials have to be accompanied by black hour markers. If they are not you can rule them out as fake. Example of real white dial YM:

My attitude is not "cheap" by any stretch. I've bought and sold lots of DJ's on eBay. I'm familiar with them. I've made a fair amount of money on them. So, I do take offense when someone says that I "obviously know nothing about Rolexes.

I'm considering venturing into other models. However, before I do, I want to gain as much knowledge as possible. That's why I'm here. I have a passion for the brand. I think they're beautiful watches.

Alfredo, thanks for your input.
