Original or Fake YachtMaster

Check this one out.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-YACHTMASTE...QQcmdZViewItem

The cost is really low and it looks like it might be legitimate but I am unsure. His feedback is 0 but he has an Osterman receipt. Opinions?

The pictures are too far away to distinguish anything!
However, compare it with another sample of the same year,

the end link looks different (the one in ebay has the gold all the way to the end but the local one just half way).

Member for less than a month and no feedback... No way I would buy a high value item from them right there.

Also, he can take the caseback off and remove a bracelet, but can't get better quality pics? If I was selling a Rolex on ebay, and I didn't have a good camera to take good pics, I would do something. Borrow a camera, go to a photographer, buy a camera and then return it, etc.

Terry, I think the pics are too bad. And with watches and smaller items on ebay, the lousier the pictures, the more questionable the product. I'd stay away based on what I know now.

I wasn't going to buy it. I was just reporting it as I believed it was fake and wanted the group's opinions. It is difficult to tell if it is legit because of the crappy pictures. It's amazing that somebody would bid on something that they can barely see. I certainly would not. I work too hard for my money.

Thanks for all of the look sees.

It must have been fake as it has been removed.
