A very Ill informed scam
Hi all,
I think this must be a scam. There seems to be a lot of conflicting info in this auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-GMT-Master...1%7C240%3A1318 Simon

Seller claims this is an F series 2003 but I don't think they made this watch at that time. I could be wrong but others should be providing input soon.

Err buddy Simon...good catch indeed...!
 Those are stock pictures of 116718 GMT Master II(C) in Solid 18K Gold... which is supposed to be launched n produced by Rolex from early 2007 or so...to begin with... http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-GMT-Master...1%7C240%3A1318  There is NO freaking way...the eBay Seller - pristinewatch... could be selling that 116718 GMT Master II watch genuinely...when he added that the watch is ACTUALLY??? an F series Rolex watch made from 2003...or something like that...! 2ndly...if one checks the Seller's ONLY 1 beautiful FB history in eBay... purportedly which he received... from a Buyer of his TELUX watch(whatever that is?)... one would come to realize that the Seller himself had NOT given any reciprocal FB to his Buyer... This may be possible... if the Seller had stolen the vital statistics of the Buyer...in eBay... to have had initiated the FB...to himself from that Buyer's account... without the knowledge or digital traces in the Buyer's FB account... to begin with...the Buyer never bought that TELUX watch...purportedly from the Seller in eBay. 1 Feedback received Positive feedback rating Great eBayer!!! I was able to pick up watch same day. Great condition!!!! classicarz ( 25 FB ) Feb-07-09 13:01 Men's Telux Chronograph Watch (#180326244685) US $799.00 View Item In the same unpleasant breath...the Seller has listed another questionable watch in eBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Submariner...1%7C240%3A1318  This looks to be 2 BIG scams...brewing up a storm in eBay...! 56 minutes to go into the end of the illicit listing...with scores of bidders wanting to sink their mouth pieces(dentures) into the scrappy deal...! Orchi prays for Lady Casper to get eBay to shut down BOTH listings... at once... n send the Seller to ...oblivion...! |

He made over $12,000 for taking some good stock photos and posting the sales as if they were his own. I am working on this as the sales are over.
I will not allow these to go through. I was at a conference all day and just got back. Terry Newton

Err buddies...in those auction listings...
the watches are said to be located in Utica, New York... A quick check in the internet for "PristineWatches.com" brings Orchi... to California's address...which looks to be a brand new website... stating to have been in business since 1995... Perhaps a call can be made to see if they have indeed listed those 2 watches in eBay...IF SO...perhaps they could post actual pictures of the watch showing latest pre-requested time...n date...! http://www.pristinewatchcompany.com/ 3375 Edison Way Menlo Park, CA 94025 [email protected] Office Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30AM to 5:30PM Phone: (415) 555-5555 Fax: (415) 555-5515 |

Look at this part of the auction text:
" When bidding please bid with confidence. I have tried to sell items on ebay before and none have been successful. Many people have tried to purchase an item only to try and con me during the payment process." Note that he has one feedback. All this adds up to a scam of the first order.
