My opinion:

Ensuring Authenticity: Genuine Rolex Products are sold exclusively through Authorized Rolex Dealers.

Plus, I even shopped the AD from witch I bought my Rolex. Some don't really know the product/have old watches (D and Z serials)/offer questionable service.

Royal de Versailles in Toronto gave me an immaculate service and I will not hesitate to drive the 1000 kilometers again to go there to have my watch serviced/repaired. My watch will only be touched by them.

I'd say the date number looks too small, guessing the cyclops is only 1.5X

I wouldn't buy, but I'm not the expert here

I definitely didn't intend on purchasing the aforementioned item but I though with 4 hours left and one bid at that price with a diamond dial being a GMT2, I sensed a fish with legs afoot.

It doesn't look right, and the model number is mis-stated as 116713. It should be 16713.

Its a "Del Shannon Special" alright but you'd think they'd get the model number right, & gold through clasp on a 1998 TT

That bidder will be an awful sad cad if he is actually a legitimate bidder and purchases that watch. It is actually rather sad if you think about it. The ca hones on these ebay sellers are like a couple of Epcott Centers.

Real or not, I don't get the diamond dial. It's like putting a vinyl top on a Humvee.
