Err buddy Terry...here's one 1675 GMT Master...which the PowerSeller from Singapore...TimeVintage is trying to sell off...as having "Original"...?

"Band: Rolex folding Jubilee bracelet 62510H, end piece number 555. Excellent condition with very light stretch. The watch will fit up to a big wrist of 19.5cm"

The clasp is...FAKE...!



The all black bezel insert is...FAKE...!



The endlinks are...FAKE...!



The bucket n bracelet links are...FAKE...!

Reported again. They probably have not gotten through all of my weekends postings. I reported many, many watches.

Err buddy Stan...thanks...

Also the all black bezel insert of the watch is...FAKE!!!

The fonts are too thick...FAKE!!!



The correct n Rolex original fonts on the bezel insert of 1675 GMT are...much slimmer...

Orchi:

I E-Mailed my contact at E-Bay whom I contact directly if something is going to get away from us. I contacted Ryan at E-Bay and advised him that this sale had occurred and someone was going to get burned. They pulled it after the fact. It's never too late to end a sale unless the money has already exchanged hands. This was stopped due to your effort at advising me that it had not been pulled. It is invalid now.

Err buddy Terry...this is just for update that Orchi received from eBay...just now.

The eBay Power-Seller "TimeVintage" of Singapore...who has been claiming to be ONE of the largest 2nd hand watch dealer in Singapore...is no longer a registered eBay User...

Upon checking...all their existing listings have been pulled out of eBay...

Orchi wonders now...what could have happened...???

Was it as a direct result of cancellation or 'temporary suspension' of the User's account privileges by eBay...which could be due to violations against eBay's regulations...or complaints from its Clients n other Sellers...?

Or was it due to 'voluntary' closure of eBay account by the User...themselves?

With the amount of fakes being sold by them it doesn't matter why they are gone; just that they are. Good Job.

....they were canned because of OUR COLLECTIVE dilligence in reporting. It is a shame that they could not clean-up their act. I have personally purchased from them previously.

Err buddy Terry...this is a tough one...Orchi has been trying to put a finger onto it...but don't know where n what to begin...as the descriptions n pictures of the listing for this 1675 GMT Master...are too vague...n unclear...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Rolex-GM...QQcmdZViewItem

The Seller jplechy...would seem to have little prior experience of selling any watches in ebay...despite having over 860 positive feedbacks in eBay history...n he or she has been an eBay member since April 30-2000.

His last eBay transaction dated back almost 6 months to January of this year 2008.

By looking at only a couple of pictures posted...the watch would appear to have a Redone/Refinished Dial...but no mention of it by the Seller either...regarding the bracelet or the Cal. movement references...???

The endlinks that are fitted to the watch case would also seem to be out of place or shape...





Can you please ask the Seller whether or not...

1. he would be able to post additional clearer pictures of the watch...
2. provide the reference of the Cal. movement n bracelet/endlinks...etc.
3. whether the Seller would accept personal collection...etc.

Please tell the Seller...it would make the watch sells much better if he or she would be able to provide those additional infos n pictures...as the watch is claimed to be a vintage 1675 GMT made in 1964...which would then make it very very desirable to its potential bidders...

Please assist...

I reported it. Someone needs to warn the winner in five hours when the auction ends. E-Bay won't let me discuss scams with buyers or sellers. I warned my contact at E-Bay about the Day-Date though it is Saturday and may not get stopped in time. Someone please warn the winner away.

So very cunning...

It is advertised as follows:

It is a Platinum President Yachtmaster Masterpiece Explorer Datejust Submariner Daytona Day-Date President GMT Watch.

Must have been new at Basel this year.

What a scumbag. Is someone going to warn the winner for me?

....Buckle is fake.

....K SN is ACTUALLY 2001 (while Y is 2002)

....The way the listing is laid out, smells like a SCAM !!
