watch hundreds of misresperesented watches
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rolex-Da...pQr:rk:28:pf:0
certainly not a 116233 much older amazes me how they can have 100% feedback older watches with generic photoshopped photos https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/watch_my...p2047675.l2562

You’re right - total misrepresentation.
I think the typical buyer would never know the nuances of modern model numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed

It’s on the Australian eBay board so the rules could be different I guess. But in the interim I went deeper into the description and the seller quotes it as “retro” - not claiming modern manufacture. Year of Manufacture 1980-1989 So really it is a case of telling the seller to fix his only mistake in the listing - namely the reference number. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes I saw the case had lugholes and the other listings were heavily photoshopped.
Just look at the date carefully on the last one you just posted. It’s clearly not the datewheel you see - it’s been cut/copy/pasted. How else would the date number float above the actual beveled date window? It’s bait and switch for sure. But an unwary buyer would not notice once the watch was in hand. And they allow returns so any dissatisfied customer could get a refund, don’t you think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
