This screams bad deal

Nothing about this listing looks good:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-GMT-MA...#ht_989wt_1189

First of all, in 1958, there were no crown guards. Even so the next iteration came out in 1959 with pointed crown guards.

1.1 million serial dates 1964/65 in which case the case would have square crown guards if 1965.

Seller is sooooooo not disclosing the truth about this watch.

Just my humble opinion though.

Pete

Pete, I agree with your comment.
The serial number doesn't correspond to the model on the pics.
Doesn't make any sense.

Also, EBay doesn't care about fakes.
I have decided to stop reporting counterfeit items.
I will only report them on TRF.

i think its good work you guys do , and it would be a shame to stop... i think e bay could help if they had a removed because of fraud sticker ,,,, it would do them good in the long term.

clearly the guy has made a mistake about the date of the watch. 1.1 as you say is most likely 64. that is it . He shows the service dial on watch etc etc. Original dial is also not original to the watch but is a later original rolex dial. I doubt he knows that. Really dont think he is doing that badly compared to the real thiefs.
