Posted as a 1995 Submariner with original box - NOT the original box

One picture is not of the same watch (2:05 time depicted), pictured in the box w/magnification cyclops, WHICH the watch does not have.

If they did this to the outside of the watch, I wonder what was done inside..

Careful on this one..

I asked for a picture set to 6:33. Let's see what happens.

The watch/band look genuine. This is a good example of buying the seller before the watch. Personally, I don't like it when these sellers place older watches in a newer box, but this is quite common with the preowned jewelers, pawn shops and silver/gold dealers. It's obviously done to enhance the value or sale of the watch.

Also, as noted by TTG, the date magnifier is another issue to discuss with the seller.

Good post TTG.
