Yeah, he's got counterfeit Rolex, Tudor, IWC, and Omega "kits" available now, and is a habitual offender. Just gave his listings some extra "love" and hopefully they'll kick him for good this time.

The first listing is gone but his store is open with many more exemplars. Most disturbing part is at the tail end of his watch case listings he offers custom dial printing for $90.

Actually, the seller's ID in the OP was: hkprivate
http://www.ebay.com/sch/hkprivate/m.html

He had a bunch of "kits" for sale, with Rolex, Tudor, IWC, and Omega dials.
I reported all of his items with the exception of the booklets, as I couldn't confirm those.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if he has several different user IDs, and could be the same seller as above.

I'm new to watch collecting and this forum in general- I had no idea that people did this!

Seems dangerously expensive for someone who doesn't know what to look for. You guys are doing some seriously important work in here....

Possibly a violation of the Lanham Act in the U.S. But, it appears this seller is in Hong Kong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanham_Act

(a link to Wikipedia, I know, but it gives a reasonable summary of the pertinent part of the law.)

The reason the Rolex is pictured is he says the case will fit a genuine Rolex movement for those who have damaged Rolex cases.
