Another Newbie with questionable listing...of a "Rolex watch"...or Box?

Err buddies...this one appeared in Orchi's routine scans...which set off the sirens...

eBay Newbie Seller - leipizzi
of Argentina with 2 FB is trying to sell a...

"ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL EXPLORER 1 (SPECIAL REEDITION)"

"I SELL MY ROLEX ZAFIRE CRYSTAL ORIGINAL ANTIREFLEX,

DIAL GLOSS, OYSTERLOCK, D LETTER

I HAVE A COSC CARD. REFERENCE NUMBER 78690, IN BOX, LUMINOVA DIAL, CALENDAR"

PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES, IT SHOW THE ORIGINAL COLOUR OF THE WATCH


Orchi can appreciate that he may not be able to express his listing better in English...but those descriptions of his watch that he is trying to sell...such as the Ref #...n "D Letter"....are just not right.

In Orchi's own opinion...those pictures that the Seller has posted in the listing...do NOT belong to the Seller...or the actual watch that he might have for sale...!

The last picture ONLY illustrate an outside box...BUT who in the right frame of mind...would NOT want to take a picture of a watch that he or she is selling...right on the box or be placed close to it...at the very least...?








JUST 12 hours left in the eBay listing...which has attracted quite a few of bids...from interested parties!

The box picture does not match the background for all of the watch photos, the watch photos seem to be stock photos, the seller has sold one $12.00 item in the past, the seller is in Argentina which would make it difficult to seek redress if this is a scam, it reeks of a scam. I would be very hesitant to make this kind of purchase. The price is too low for the watch as well.

I have contacted E-bay again about this sale. I believe it is highly questionable and it is up to them to protect the buyer on this one.
