Hey gang - every once in a while I just browse 'the auction site' and report the odd fake rolex- since I have a GMT I look at those the most.

Have a look at this:

It's purported to be an F8xxxxxxx GMT II. The face I guess looks good in the pics, but check out the bracelet... fako?

and

SEL looks strange, clasp is indented/stamped not milled, and the security clasp looks like it has a dimple visible on the outside edges. Also the bracelet has the model # on the inside links, which I thought ended w/Y serial #s.

ji603 · 20 September 2006, 10:57 AM

yeah sure, they're just off the guys auction tho...

looks like this sold for USD $3283.00

Looks like the "A" in MASTER comes to a point at the top of the font. Dead give away for a fake.

Are you able to let the buyer know before they hand out that amount of $ ?

Oh geeez I feel so bad for that poor (sucker) that bought it.....

It's a shame. Sickening really... Here's a line I lifted from an auction currently happening:

"This Panerai Watch is not produced by Panerai and its second hand, but swiss made with ETA 6573 Movement and in Excellent Condition!"

WTF?
