A sucker is born every minute...

I present to you a recently sold, full kit 16233 that was recently sold on eBay for >$5k.
First, read the description. Then look through the pictures. Then go back and read the description again. Notice anything new?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/114351997024

I assume the seller is following eBay’s guidelines as he/she has thousands of positive reviews. But really, someone happily paid $5k for THAT!?

Oh dear!

The movement is marked Rolex and therefore the watch is a fake.

Reported.

Hopefully EBay will give the seller the flick.

There is no defence.

Aren’t there ‘clone’ movements being for sale on eBay tho??

Also, notice how seller didn’t list hands and datewheel being genuine? Because they’re NOT.
