Anyone seen a warranty card like this?

[sdwtchlvr]

A seller joined another forum today and posted this Deepsea for $5500. I've been back and forth with him all morning. He sent me these pics. Warranty card looks unlike any other for a V serial Deepsea. Please inspect and report.

[Rsvrider]

Looks right to me....but Im not an expert. But looks similar to what i have. Can you get a pic of the other side? There you"ll b able to read the AD, DOP, and original buyer. If you want full warranty the card must be filled by AD. blank=No Warranty

[sdwtchlvr]

Here are two other pics. I've seen a lot of the other style cards which look like they're in French.

[Rsvrider]

Right, it can be French, Japanese etc,,,,the easiest way to tell is IT MUST HAVE THE JUBILEE print on the other side if the watch is fairly new>

This is an example of the older one Euro version

[Rsvrider]

Heres a US version and you can see the Jubilee (ROLEXROLEXROLEX) on the front (green area, yeah bunch of scuffs but you ca still make it).

Can anyone comment on the watch too? It looks good to me but I'm no deepsea expert.

I'd be careful of any DSSD being sold online....there was a wave of VERY VERY VERY good fakes that came out about a year ago....if you search the threads you'll find it. the old saying goes, Buy the Seller!!

[sdwtchlvr]

I'm aware of the fakes. There are very good fakes of a lot of Rolex models. But there are tons of gen DSSD's sold online in addition too. I'm trying my best to do my due diligence on the seller. I won't go through unless I feel comfortable.

It is ok to post his FS thread in another forum.
It looks good so far.

Deep Sea "V" series with papers for $5500 ? Too good to be true, watch out ! DAVIDSW is selling his for over 8K.

It's fake, or scam.

Card is fake I bet you'll get a piece of rock instead.

I've passed on the deal but how do you know the card is fake? Can you provide details that will help us identify fake cards in the future.

I've asked the seller several times today for tagged pics. Photos of my name and todays date on a piece of paper with the watch. Something along those lines. And I have been met with big time resistance. Accused of deeming him a criminal, etc...every time I 've tried to walk from the deal because he's got "15 buyers" behind me, he keeps coming back.

No one (in their right mind) is going to sell this for $5500...

Too good to be true = POS

He said why would he scam me when he could sell it for $20k.

He told me that he isn't scamming me because he gave me his phone number...which turned out to be a google phone number...totally untraceable.

[sdwtchlvr]

The watch and warranty card in the pics may indeed be gen, but if he can't send me tagged pic with my name on a sheet of paper, then I have to assume he stole the pics and doesn't have the watch in his possession.

[sdwtchlvr]

Well, just in case any one is interested, they buyer is selling over on WUS. He listed it on watchnet last week for $7k and his posts were deleted. Maybe they know something we don't. May be an honest seller, but from my dealings with him I would proceed with caution.

[sleddog]

These are all legitimate pics.....However, that doesn't mean it's what you are going to receive!!

The price is red flag alone. Forget about it and move along or you will lose more than you bargain for!
This is a classic scam taking advantage of the gullible with stolen pics!

I agree. The guy was totally giving me grief for asking for more photos. Nothing about the deal told me he had the watch in his possession. He said bank wire only as he's closing on a house this weekend and needs the cash. I offered to pay him $6k via paypal just for the added protection and he said that even though he is paypal verified, he would only accept bank wire. Now I know some sellers won't use paypal no matter what but something about this deal didn't feel right. Shoot, for $5500 I'd fly out to Texas tomorrow for a face to face cash deal but I doubt he'd go for that.

well known scammer... forget it and runnnnn

[iLLGT2]

I hate all of these scum scammers..... Thankfully you didn't do it, albeit, the watch in those pics is legit.

For every scammer out there, there is a "mark." There are way too many bargain hunters out there getting "bargains they didn't bargain for." Be thankful he didn't get you this time. I would stay with a reputable seller and watch-out for private sales that are "bargains" - especially on watches that you can't see in person.

5500 for a DSSD? It's so way off the mark, you know something is going on...

[crowncollection]

To cheap no way this is all above board

Run Forrest Run!

i was also in contact with this seller today and again balked at sending new pics and upset I was treating them like a criminal. Funny thing is they were going to accept paypal this time and also mentioned the house closing although first it was on Monday then it was on Friday. Interesting that they were taking paypal this time around as paypal freezes the funding until there is proof of delivery then it takes 3-4 days to transfer providing plenty of time to get it authenticated and file a dispute to again freeze the funds. Oh well, another case of too good to be true. Besides anyone looking for a "quick sale" on a DSSD just has to price it a few hundred dollars below the common market price of used at give or take 8500. Even at 7500 it's a smoking deal so why discount an extra 2K if you don't have to.

Glad you passed on this deal. What I meant is the card and watch the scammer claimed to have is either non existent or you'll just get a rock instead of a watch. what's in the picture maybe real or a good quality fake. There are a few scammers on the other forums and was here on TRF as well selling "watches" that just smelled rotten
