Men rolex 2tone 18k gold/steel submariner date blue sub

http://cgi.ebay.com/MEN-ROLEX-2TONE-...item27ac998d01

He says the watch is from 2006. I never saw D-serial with lug holes. Looks like genuine papers but the watch is FAKE (take a look at the clasp....)

Opinions?

You are correct, Sir! Nice attention to detail.

Lug holes ended around 2003.

Larger than usual notch to flick open the lock

I can't make out the notch on the clasp.

The gold through the clasp began around 2000, and this model has the lug holes, so it is doubtful a D-series.

Even if this watch looked perfect, with an 85% rating and accepting only wire transfers, I would steer clear of this guy...

Same here, I'd avoid it, but looks like others are bidding away there, love some of the comments on the FB
