It looks like gen bracelet and clasp, datewheel, gen bezel, gen 702 crown, gen movement, but the dial seems to have a TERRIBLE reprint and aftermarket hands.

With a little luck, given buyer has a 0 feedback, it's a Nigerian scammer willing to send the seller lots of extra money beyond the cost of watch. Perhaps irony at its best. Two fools meant for each other.

This steaming heap of crap sold for 10K. I am utterly dumbfounded. I used to think the buyers of these fakes were poor little innocent victims that are simply being taken advantage of and I felt sorry for them.......but the more of this I see, the less compassion I have. To me if you have 10k to spend on a watch, its stands to reason you've done something of value to create that kind of disposable/discretionary money and by extension you have some measure of intellect. I know am starting to think my rationale is flawed and wholly inaccurate. I just cannot get over the number of fools that present themselves every day to feed this endless cycle. Furthermore and probably more important is that you would think someone who's interested in a vintage piece like this one would know the details of what to look for and to have the basic knowledge of separating a legitimate example from a replica. That obviously isn't the case. Unreal.

Whole thing is fake, the stamping on the movement is crude
China can now replicate Rolex movements, not very well though

It would be comical if it were not so outrageous.

I don't think I'd ever buy a watch off of eBay.
