Another fake-a-roo on CL DFW

Another clown trying to pass off a fake DD as real. There outta be a bounty on guys like this. I am serious, some sorta way to lure these guys out and if they try to consummate a deal for a fake, then they are busted on the spot......fines, jailed and publicly ridiculed. These people must be successful at this to some degree or there wouldn't be this many people trying it.

Said he'd consider all trades...I just picked up a Bob the Builder watch for my 2 year old son for $7, wonder if he'd consider that, lol? Flagged as well.

Eager to learn here. Apart from the day not being centered, what other indicators are there that the watch isn't genuine?

Take a look at the gap on the end link where it's supposed to meet the head flush. Big ole gap in this one

Look at the mag over the date. It's far too weak. Oh and I cannot tell for sure but it looks like Saturday is spelled Satorday but that might be the angle. VI is not lined up correctly with the 12 o'clock coronet.

It's just a mess.

Thanks for your responses. I bought my DJ from an AD because I was far from confident I could separate the wheat from the chaff. I am so glad I did!
