Expert Eyes Needed Vintage
I have been looking at these watches and I have some concerns.
http://stores.ebay.com/v-luu44 Seller is in Arizona home of 1 of the best of the best of the fakers. If you cache in google you get very similar items for sale from this seller and the famous forbidden website. Is it my eyes? What do they trained eyes say? My mind is made up what do you say? Seller only takes bank wire a big no no on ebay

The forbidden website has always given an address or location in Arizona, even though they are located in China or somewhere in Asia. Your suspicions are 100% correct Greek!
Also, this web site clearly states that most of the items they are selling are reproductions. Most of us law abiding people call their products counterfeit.

Lets start with the Gold bracelets on the gold sub and GMT do they look right? Seller claims 100% original.

At least the band for the 16758 does not look original. Unfortunately (or rather smart by him) he did not post close up of the clasps nor reference numbers.

going from memory
i believe that the gmt is missing some hall marks() on the back of the case. and on the sub, i can't make them out. 18k, .750 purity scales and helvetia pre-1995 all the hallmarks from a past gmt as i remember were seperate and ON 3 OF THE LUGS i know thats the way presidents ARE! |

greek, i am talking about the case making on the gmt case itself. the fake
cases that i've seen in the past are brushed out SO you can't make out the hallmarks |

He was also selling reproduction cases for any vintage model you want with Rolex hallmarks.

There are a lot of these sellers offering replacement parts, but with Rolex/Tudor hallmarks.
Fakers on EBay mix replacement cases/dials,... with original Rolex parts to fool buyers with rare models. I reported several time to eBay these crooks, but they simply don't care... |
