Real or Fake.

No, I think fake. Look where the seconds hand passes through "L" "P" and "Superlative Chronometer"

Compare to genuine here:

Thanks.
I have reported as highly suspicious based on
1) Price
2) seller
3) Only one photo
4) Dial layout based on genuine

Feedback in the 70% is certainly nasty.

Watch in the picture looks fine. I believe there were a couple dial variations. However, it smells like the common bait-and-switch scam. Seller posts pics/description of genuine watch. Winning bidder will receive a fake (or nothing at all).

It looks like the image is stolen from here:

http://www.santblanc.com/steel-gold-...ant-blanc.html

Notice that it seems that they have photoshopped the background to be fully grey, however the 6 o'clock hand has moved. The reflections of the hang tag and in fact all of the reflections are more or less identical to me. Maybe they have gotten more images from santblanc and used one taken in the same set but not available in a google search?

It might be hard or impossible to convince ebay of this though...

What does this mean in description sounds almost like they are saying it isn't a real one but hard to understand.

This UA Rolex is a Swiss watch and timepiece specialist and not a Rolex dealer and have no affiliation with Rolex Watch USA.

Feedback is awful, everything the guy has sold which is no much has no value and even those things he gets bad feedback, sounds like a small time scammer trying to go big time!

I have a reliable source that confirms the account that won this auction has no intention of paying, and simply uses these opportunities to further reduce the feedback score of such scammer accounts. Some people's kids...

Well Ebay removed it!
This listing (162080252320) has been removed, or this item is not available.
Please check that you've entered the correct item number
Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing.
