Great pictures too, and even in spite of that, with my limited experience compared to many...that's awful!!

Newbie here, What's the first giveaway that this is not an authentic watch?

Do a visual comparison with 16610 images from TRF trusted sellers and also with images from google images. This particular fake is worse than usual.

If you want to educate yourself, there are some youtube videos and you could browse old threads in this section.

In general, you won't get much 'education' here because the TRF moderators and members don't want to teach fraudsters to be better fraudsters.

I appreciate the reply and you have a very valid point. After a brief comparison this piece is just horrible, AND reported.

Here's the email sent

Ma'am,

I do not know if you know this or not but I will assume you do not. The watch you have pictured here is not a real Rolex. It is a fake worth maybe 30 bucks. It's against the law to knowingly or unknowingly sell a counterfeit product and its also mail and bank fraud if you accept money for the watch. Please remove the listing. It has been reported to eBay on 8 different occasions that I know of and they are monitoring you closely. I'd remove before you have serious problem. It's incumbent on the seller to know the authenticity of items you list. Ignorance isn't a lawful excuse. Please remove and close the listing. Lastly, before you ask I/we will not share with you how we know its a fake. Educate yourself with the myriad of info on the web. Thanks for your understanding......

If you're bidding $3k on those pictures from someone with 1 feedback, you deserve what you get.

why doesn't ebay take down the listing, normally they are pretty quick with 10+ reports right?

I have no idea why they take so long.....i'm guessing they just don't have enough people to review things. Its just too easy to list a fake and get people to bid.

I sent a message to the seller. Mostly so that the eBay fraud department can see the multiple warning messages (earlier poster's message and mine) to the seller and the seller's decision to go ahead with the auction.

In the question section, she says its her divorced husbands, which contradicts the message above

I dropped the seller a little note too, just in the spirit of messing with someone trying to commit fraud.

This is no accident. She knows what she's doing, using photos of two different watches is a dead give away.

Got a reply. "I know it's real."

I wonder why eBay hasn't acted yet.

Yep, she replied again to me telling me to stop harassing her b/c she knows the watch is real. she's sticking to her story. Now I'm on a mission to obliterate this thing.....

probably not even a she, divorce story as fake as the watch. Clearly a seller who's fully aware of what he's doing. I discovered you can report items multiple times, so reported again.

The account is 2 months old, has one feedback rating for a purchase, and now has a Rolex shaped object for sale. Clearly a scam but I guess ebay want their 10%.
