This one might be a bit stinky

I think I smell something? For starters check the writing on the bracelet.

Whatever it says, it's not "Registered" and "Swiss Made" like it should be. Cyclops is nowhere near 2.5, either.

...oh ya...

...if you look at the ENLARGED picture of the folding clasp, it is GROSSLY misspelled.

...sad thing....this guy is a power seller!!

...I wonder what LADY CASPER would say about this one??

Good catch Paul!!

This is not a real Sub.

I think eBay would frown on this auction.

Agreed Buddy Orchi,

Other than the obvious issues .... it was pretty close. I looked at it for a while and compared it to the real deal then more and more problems arose.

Needs to be ADIOS!




ps - didn't realize the is a PS. Let's see what ebay does with this one..........

I'm shocked that a power seller would do anything like this! Maybe he has made an honest mistake. Let's not jump to conclusions, just because this guy appears to be a scammer. Let's take some time, think it over before it gets slammed.


Time is up... smoke it Holmes!!!!

Is 116610 a valid model number? I thought it should be 16610.

It's the model number of the new ceramic bezel insert models. I think.
