Sorry guys, wasn't trying to be rude without the thanks/please. I really appreciate the replies.

What makes it fake? I thought the only giveaway was that when the Crown was screwed in the Rolex symbol wasn't straight.

The crown being straight has nothing to do with authenticity. MAny real ones aren't straight and many fake ones are.

I don't discuss what makes it fake, but there are several tells with this watch.

The first red light is the price. This is a $14k watch and the current bid is $351. That alone screams fake.

Did anyone report it already? If not I will do shortly
