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

You’re right - total misrepresentation.

I think the typical buyer would never know the nuances of modern model numbers.

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.

And the pictures of thicker polished lug models hundreds of them and you get a 16014
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mens-Rol...MAAOSwxvxW69o1

+ fat polished lugs ladies models hundreds with one photo showing lug holes ? newer ones shown in most pics but you get an old watch

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?
