Ebay - "Sea Dweller" - Ref. 16600
Just joined this form and I've had sleepless night reading up on different topics! Great to know such a strong community exists.
Needed help, does this look legit? Thinking of bidding but the seller has no feedback! And he's based in Denmark! Look in ebay for: Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust "Sea Dweller" - Ref. 16600 - (expired model) Also are 16600 w lug holes easy to come by and what price should I be targeting with box and papers in excellent to minty condition? Thx! |

Never, Never, Never Get ANYTHING off eBay where the Seller has Zero Feedback, NEVER!
Even then, Only Very Trusted Sellers on eBay. Some Forum Members Do Business There. Better Yet, Check Out the Trusted Sellers Right Here on TRF! Due Diligence, ALWAYS.... |

Not looking good. I can see several issues just from the face.
The provenance is suspicious too. Zero feedback seller. Stay clear. |

There is absolutely no reason to believe the holder of that account owns the watch illustrated in the auction.

I personally sell on eBay and I am a power seller on there. I saw a lot of sales that people try to sell expensive watches with no reputation. As a rule of thumb - you have to buy a seller not a watch. Always stay away from people you don't trust. That is just my personal advice.

Some people amaze me...
How do you bid on a multi-thousand $ item sold by a seller with no history?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/142897494655 I hope not because it's totally schizophrenic. 1981/2 would be a reference 16660 anyway and this an f-serial no-holes case. Maybe you uploaded the wrong photos? |
