Pics look fine, but EBay can be a den of thieves. Buyer beware.

Looks like a real Rolex, for sure. It is a little cheap, though. I could have bought the same watch brand new last weekend for £3,350 or about $5,290, from a UK main dealer. So, yes, a little on the cheap side. I'd be wary though, it's eBay after all.

He has NO sellers feedback, all his feedback (10) is from $1-2 items and he is located in Germany.

You can do better and do safer IMO

i am german

and no european would ever list their watches in the states

because you only get 70% of the price you would reatch in germany for example

he bought some crap articles to get the yellow 10 feedback star

be careful and be aware

i am german and scared to buy this watch

The watch looks fine to me, but the seller does not. Therefore, stay far away.

Question ... did the 14060M have the Blue fluorescent? From the pics, the hue of the fluorescent looks blue to me (I thought it is supposed to be green). Also, the font on the warranty card looks a bit off to me.

Keep away, if it's to good to be true - it usually is!

There have been a few on here for a little more than that.

I have tried to get one for myself, but ended up finding a UK seller so no shipping or customs worries
