Fake sub

Another ebay idiot. This was kind of a funny read. 100% fake Submariner though, whether the story was true or not. Check out the dials, photo backgrounds and the time on the watch in each photo.

...now John, honey, I am inclined to disagree with you about the watch. It even has a GENUINE band...transitional buckle/clasp with indent/notch. The springbar connectors have the correct contour and even though I cannot totally distinguish the numbers on the endpieces, I beleive the watch and band to be genuine.

...HOWEVER, what I DO beleive, is that this is a SCAM. There are, again, pic's of 2 DIFFERENT watches, one set are most likely stock photos.

...oh, CASPER, wher for art thou???

I agree with John on this one. Clearly at least two different watches pictured. One has a maxi-dial and lug holes, the other one has no lug holes and WG surrounds. I'd guess the picture with the WG surrounds on the dial is someone's stock photo for a 16610. The maxi-dial watch appears to be a fake.

I saw three different watches. While I was reporting the watch I listed all of the faults. I then went back to report it again and it was gone already. Faster than greased lightening.

You are correct Stan, but in this instance, the one set of photos are of a fake Submariner. I noticed that band in the one photo, which looks like an early sub band, but in the other photo, notice the caseback sticker, it sure doesn't go with that band, if the sticker is genuine. Also, the maxi dial pics are a fake sub.

So we have photos of fake subs, genuine subs and an idiot scammer. Sounds like a receipe for failure. As we say in Texas, watchout ya all, that snake has teeth!! I think I'll buy it!!!

Sorry, Stan. I didn't mean for my post to appear as if I were disagreeing with you. I posted it before reading yours.
