I have been offered the below Sea-Dweller in a deal for my 14060 and would just like to hear your opinions on it?

Please find pics attached and if you require any more then let me know and I will see what I can do. At the moment I am leaning towards a fake but I wouldn't trust my own judgement.

Thanks

A $9000 Deepsea for a $5000 Sub ? Too good to be true.

It first picture looks pretty shoddy to me, besides being an unbelievable deal.

In fact, on closer inspection, the watch is as fake as they come.

By no means am I am expert, but I have to agree with Grady. The dial, the crown guards, the clasp on the bracelet. Even the color of the titanium case back looks wrong.

Wow... I'm certainly no expert, but If that's a fake, they're getting really good

Blong · 16 September 2013, 01:15 PM

Very fake...many of the hour markers are off center (especially the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock)...pointy A's on the lettering....and a crown on the dial that I could have painted better...

T-Rip · 16 September 2013, 02:00 PM

Pearl is off, markers are crap, and the dial is garbage... Maybe so is the story...

Thinking the same...

BA1980 · 16 September 2013, 06:43 PM

It was the pearl that put me off, looks way too small.
Also it was not a straight swap, I was planning on adding cash.

Looks like my suspicions where right. Thanks guys.

Cc1966 · 16 September 2013, 10:36 PM

Good you let it pass as I also see three probs with it that would point to it being a replica.

accurate · 17 September 2013, 04:49 AM

What does it say under ROLEX on the dial? It sure doesn't look like the word oyster.

dysondiver · 17 September 2013, 04:53 AM

does it smell of fish ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

something here does.

robertneville · 17 September 2013, 05:11 AM

It's a fake Deep Sea, of course he wants to trade!

blackout · 17 September 2013, 07:27 PM

Fake... Run the other way.

TAKUYA · 18 September 2013, 02:21 PM

Please report who offered you that Fake. So people here can stay away from it.

BA1980 · 19 September 2013, 07:40 AM

I managed to track the seller down and get his Ebay account where he is selling some TAG watches. I also looked at his feedback and he appears to be selling something looking similar to a Sub for £50. Maybe he tried his luck with me!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/cotswaldlu...&_trksid=p3686

Here is my Sub he wanted to swap for:

Cc1966 · 19 September 2013, 08:25 AM

I hope it was not a close call...

BA1980 · 19 September 2013, 08:28 AM

Luckily not. As soon as I received pictures I loaded them on here.
Anyone know if the TAG Heuer watches he is selling are fake?

BA1980 · 19 September 2013, 08:29 AM

I also emailed him telling him I was reporting his Ebay page for fake goods and he sent me numerous emails begging me not to. He is apparently starting out in the watch business and bought the Rolex for £1000 GBP thinking it was real. Fool.
