Rolex Display off ebay...PICS
Just thought I'd share a few pics of a Rolex display I got off ebay. The base is made of Corian. I don't think its authentic, but its pretty nice. The "C" clip is covered in soft grey cloth, the pin is metal and slotted so it can only go into the base 1 way...strait, and has the same grey material under the base so it doesn't slide.

Absolutely cool C-clip!
How much was the display, if I may ask? I am considering getting one like it!

A few days after I bid on the stand, I got an e-mail from ebay stating that they closed the auction for undisclosed reasons and that I wasn't responsible to pay.
I immediately e-mailed the seller and told him that I still wanted it, so we made the deal privately. I'm "assuming" that ebay made him remove the stand because it wasn't authentic, but I don't know for sure. |

I Bagged these off ebay...
One is from the vendor in Israel ($50-ish) and the other was from a US-based seller (approx $40)... These stands are considerably older than the one above and have some wear and tear that the picture does not show (eg. chipped bottoms). Nonetheless, they are cool to have. -Sheldon
