suspicious submariner date

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-Owned-RO...item2c9ff80d9c

seller smith0812blue (16)

"ft" on dial doesn't look right
screws in removable links don't look right

I'll report this if I get confirmation from more experienced TRF members and I'll remove the link and pictures if this is good.

No way to know for certain based on these pics alone. They are purposely lacking and there's no mention of papers or box to help authenticate. Feedback indicates 4 other watches sold but at prices that would lead you to think replica. This is deal waiting to go sideways on a buyer. Like I said, just not enough here to make a call without getting involved with the seller and getting pictures of the serial number and some supporting documents.

Its definitely a fake. The crystal is the biggest tell because its not clear enough, especially the cyclops, & the ridiculously bold date font.

markers on dial look weird and the bezel font looks wrong.

Seller also currently has a $20K + gold Yachtmaster for up auction with no reserve. Who would do something so stupid? Something fishy about this guy.

Zoom in on the auction photos, you'll see it (not the photos here, the resolution isn't good enough).
