Some **VERY** bad fakes on Ebay

[Glpstandard]

I don't usually do this, but I came across these on Ebay and wanted to post them up so they can get removed if appropriate.

Definite (and very bad) fakes:

111860160734
252234608643
321964609074

Wasn't sure about this one (the date looks off to me). I bought my Speedmaster from this seller, so this one should be good, but wanted to make sure.
262215810664

I don't even know what to make of these

Please copy and paste the actual eBay links so that it's easier for those who patrol here to attack the fraudulent auctions......we do this every week and appreciate any help we can get.

Why even bother? If they're that bad then they're fooling no-one and you're just wasting people's time looking at them.

Find some really good, not even sure if they are fakes to post if you must. At least then you're maybe helping to stop someone being ripped off. The amount of pointless canal st type crap that gets posted in this forum means that most of the guys with real knowledge that would be a great help don't even bother to look anymore.

Many of these blatant bad watches have a litany of bids.
This forum has managed to get rid of many of these via reporting to eBay.

Most of those bids are people having a laugh knowing exactly what they're bidding on.

Whatever, people want to waste time on this sorta crap then more fool them.

Although it must be nice to have that sorta spare time to waste i admit.

One is already gone, and I omitted one because I believe it to be real on second thought.

Not everyone is a watch expert, and not everyone knows the first thing about Rolex. Unsuspecting idiots do bid and buy even very bad fakes, not knowing any better thinking they are getting a good deal on a Rolex

A fake is a fake is a fake. Doesn't matter if it's a Canal St. special or a $900 replica. They all do the same thing; rip off unsuspecting buyers. Without someone to report them the auctions will go on and someone will likely make a big mistake that we could've prevented.

It takes 30 seconds to report an Ebay listing. In fact, in the time it took you to waste your spare time responding to this thread (twice) you could've just reported the listings and been done with it

Reported the first two, link 3 and 4 are authentic vintage Rolexes

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know enough about Rolex' history to know any of the vintage models. I wasn't sure on the last two, but the first two are definite garbage.

I removed the 3rd and 4th links in light of your post.

No problem Rolex has made models in just about any shape you can imagine over the years.

I understand you have good intentions but please don't call out fakes if you're not 100% sure.

No harm intended. There was 3 I wasn't sure on, and I stated in my OP that I didn't know if they were real or fake.

And now the so called "**VERY** bad fakes" were not fakes at all. Oh dear. Please, just stop.

Goes to show, not all are experts, can be fooled but yet are willing to learn.

I don't see why the OP should be frowned upon or beaten over that.
In reading your posts, they leave me wondering what exactly would the criteria be to post on this forum?
What is a real bad fake to one, may not be to another.
Me personally, I have learned a world of knowledge from these threads.

The first three I posted were extremely bad fakes. You don't have to know anything about Rolex to see that. They were the reason I posted the thread, and the ones I was referring to in my thread title. The last three I posted I clearly stated I wasn't sure about, but I wanted to throw them in just in case.

With that out of the way, I am not sure exactly what your problem is, but I kindly ask that if you have nothing to say of any value or substance, then please refrain from posting in my threads. All you are doing is trolling and wasting bandwidth, not to mention derailing any good intent that I have. While I am sure you are a wealth of knowledge, and very valuable (as well as well respected) on here, I can also tell you have a hell of an ego on you, and whether you want to believe it or not, it isn't doing you any good.

I've been a member of many forums, and there is always one or two of you. If you are feeling down today and need to troll to bring yourself up, go do it somewhere else, because this isn't my first time on an online forum, and I can see right through your B.S.

That's all from me. Have a great day now

Thanks for confirming that this is precisely my point. Waste of time posting them here and waste of people's time looking at them. It's posts like these that mean the guys here with the best knowledge (I do not include myself in this category at all) usually no longer bother to look in this forum which is a great shame.
