Thoughts on this Submariner LV?
Here is a very poor photo, i've got more coming. Details can't be made out, but anything stick out as being wrong?
I'll update with more photos as i receive them. |

That pic is too hard to make out the important details.

thought so. I'm having more photos sent to me. That is all that is there at the moment. It is claimed to have box and papers though. But I'm having trouble arranging meeting in person..a red flag for me.

hi jdbob, is this an LV that your thinking of buying? there is something about the outer edge of the crystal that seems wrong, hard to tell from that photo, if you need a hand I'm in Sydney too

thanks for your help dave, I told the seller I thought it was bogus given her reluctance to meet. Haven't heard back. Sounds about right.

Photos look OK but you need to check if they are the sellers. I am assuming this transaction is not via ebay?
Ask for a photo of the watch set to a particular time. This will ascertain if the watch is in the sellers possession. A reluctance to meet though is still a concern. Tread carefully. |

I would pass on it if you have even the slightest doubt. I could be just the camera angle, but the crystal does not look right.

RUN and run fast, unless the seller is a fast talker and can explain why his pictures are from here - ROLEX SUBMARINER 50th ANNIVERSARY GREEN 16610 V NO RSV

Thanks for watching my back Dave! Even copied the serial number.
I had already decided not to buy based on her reluctance to meet and told her so in an email. the photos arrived after that. This certainly seals the deal. |

I had the same trick tried on me late 2008, Seller on eBay was local to me, He had two Rolex boxes, the one he displayed was a genuine 16610 and tried the box switcharoo :-) too bad my eye is fast than the hand wasn't so cocky after he was charged
