Roles Submariner Stainless Steel watch

Rolex Submariner diver sport watch.. Stainless Steel through out. Adjustable band for different wrist sizes. It has a screw in head with a seal so no water can enter inside the watch. I think the watch is from the early eighties... It is not spotless but it works absolutely perfect and with a bit of polishing she could look new. It has the bubble crystal which is nice so if you do scratch the face you can polish it out. Keeps good time . I have been wearing it for just over 10 years and it never failed me. I will pay the shipping and the insurance to get it to you. I have looked everywhere for the box and cannot find it. This watch is guaranteed the real thing .

I am selling it because I need the money

when you list with ebay, they check the title of your listing. if it says rolex, panerai, breitling, etc... they make you confirm and swear it is not fake.

so by misspelling rolex - they didn't have to confirm it's authentic.

maybe it was an honest mistake and someone will get a sub for dirt cheap !!!!

One thing I have noticed lately, EBAY is limiting the number listings an "Ebayer" can have...for example with Rolex. IF they do not have the number of transactions and/or history in selling the items. Thus the seller is mispelling or spacing the letters R O L E X, or R-olex.

Maybe this is the way of this seller trying to get passed this one. Or just a typo...

This one DISAPPEARED already!

eBay are limiting sales of the same items to a period of 30 days in some cases:

Quote from eBay email:

"In order to help maintain a safe trading environment, selling limits are occasionally placed on listings. At this time, you are limited in the number of certain items you may list and/or revise in a 30 day period.

Sellers who have built a long-standing and consistent positive history of selling such items may be eligible to have these limits raised. If you believe that you would qualify and would like eBay to review your limits, please email us at Customer Support.

We sincerely value you as a member of our trading Community and look forward to a continued successful relationship with you.

Click here for a window with more information on eBay’s listing guidelines."


So having alternatives for the title seem to be the only way around this until the alternatives hit the list.

Seems unfair as I see many genuine powersellers who I'm sure have hundreds of timepieces available and who also sell on eBay to make a living are unfairly disadvantaged by this rule.

I cant see this stopping the scammers as they just have a wad of accounts created within the last 3 - 6 months that are never used, or they hack some poor unsuspecting seller.

Its baaaack... BUT CHANGED THE WRITE UP.... Will that make a difference

Rolex Submariner Stainless Steel watch. This watch I think is from the early eighties. I have been wearing it for 10 years at which time I purchased it from my brother. It absolutely is the real thing and I will guarantee that. I looked everywhere for the box which I cannot find. This watch is not perfect but with a little TLC it will shine up nice like a brand new nickel. The watch functions perfectly. I have had no issues in 10 years and it keeps good time. The watch head screw has a rubber seal to keep all water out. The stainless band is adjustable to fit different wrist sizes. The crystal is the bubble style rather than the flat saphire style.

He sold it outside the sale to somebody. I believe it was a 1680..

Somebody got a good deal (3200) if correct, which I think it was.

I know it was a definite quandary but the watch was real I believe. Decisions, decisions?
