Sad story, I wonder what she would send you if you bought it ?

mattyb65 · 12 July 2008, 10:49 AM

Well to her credit it was only warmed twice....

stevemulholland3 · 12 July 2008, 11:31 AM

the sad part is,I had her send me a picture with the time set to 10:12 and she did.
I dont know what to make of it.she will not accept escrow though and wont give me any references or any work info etc...this has to be a scaM.

tudorman8276 · 12 July 2008, 11:33 AM

one that Terry eliminated from my post last night. It smells of scam then and now. Stan.

Reported it again. Bad Rolex.....Go stand in the corner.........You aren't wanted anymore.

It was a long day in Lansing plus driving home to Harbor Springs is over three hours so I am exhausted. Send me some more trash to remove.

Should an M series have a certificate or a warranty card?

credit card,the watch looks real.I believe-but it is a total scam.
she wants to sell it to me right now for 4k.
I told her how about a friend comes and picks it up-she has mysteriously disappeard

stevemulholland3 · 12 July 2008, 12:24 PM

How come the watch on E-Bay does not have the engraving?

Terry Newton

stevemulholland3 · 12 July 2008, 12:26 PM

wow,I just realised that the pictures in the auction and the one she sent me are two different watches!
I wonder if she happened to find a picture with the dial set to 10:12??
strange

was wondering the same....M series should have the engraving..!!

k4vks · 12 July 2008, 01:42 PM

also notice that the description eludes to the seller being a SHE but her screen name is "superDUDE so, would that make the "she" a "he" or....?

tudorman8276 · 12 July 2008, 01:49 PM

....like you, I was under the impression that ALL M series were engraved on the ring. HOWEVER, look at the for sale ads by Springer. He purchased an M series that has NO engraving. He contends that NOT all M series have the engraving. I cannot figure it out either.....go figure....

Hmm Stan, my M3xxxx GMT2 16710 has no engraving and to the best of seeing many 16710 M serials on ebay and elsewhere (e.g. here), none has engraving.
I have read somewhere (can't remember where ...) that the old GMT2 line has no engravings. Mileage on other models varies.

stevemulholland3 · 12 July 2008, 04:03 PM

I am not dis agreeing with you about the engraving be absent on some m's,
what I am saying is strange is the fact that on her auction the watch photoed has no engraving yet the pictures supposedly of the same watch that she sent me do have the ingraved rehaute...

swatty · 12 July 2008, 04:55 PM

Just had another look at this one, The watch seems to look the part, but , It says it comes with warranty card, shows a pic of a certificate ? + check the colour of the Rolex seal cord . I would stay well away from this one ,

Very observant. That's the first thing that caught my eye also. This whole thing reeks of a scam yet the watch does look real. I still think it is a scam in some fashion. I think it is a troll for money deal where you think you will get a watch, as one does exist. It was cleverly photographed to look like a legitimate deal (this is where he screws up and puts the certificate in instead of the warranty card) then it's bid up, money is sent, person disappears to never be heard of again.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
