Rolex Submariner - 116613 Blue

I was looking for a good deal around on a pre-owned V series two-tone SubC. I found this listing on ebay but it looks fishy based on his recent sales and other items. What do you think?

Actually I just checked it out and definitely fraud. I guess you have to be extra careful with ebay.

I would never buy from a guy who cannot even spell correct things in his description, using horrible grammar. He also has a buy it now price, when its an auction. Its definitely a fraud..

That is strange-his feedback # is very high. I wonder if he got hijacked somehow.
You all know more about these watches than I do but I have to think if it were legit someone would have snatched it up for the BIN price.
Auctions can have a BIN price and still be an auction.

The feed back numbers are high but there is a lot of negitive feed back also.

You can't count grammar skills the seller is from China and eBay doesn't translate accurately. But check the feed back the stuff he sells are trinkets and there isn't anything over 20.00 bucks. I would put this watch in the 20.00 buck category.

Is is definitely FRAUD. Not sure why e-bay is so slow to shut him down.
1) He has the same description for all his watches
2) Buy it now for $2650?
3) He doesn't have any feedback for items over $30.00
4) Only 1 photo

Looks like a Hijacked account TRF members, beware of "diybead"

eBay offen looks the other way if the listing numbers are high. More listing, more sales, more money for eBay.

I've bought two there that are 100% real and original, but I did my homework first and got a LOT of help from some TRF'ers in here. I wouldn't have even considered it in not for the knowledge shared in here.
