"Long E" Rolex 5513

[mcjp6]

The issue of the "Long E" has recently been discussed here in a couple of threads.

Here is another example, this time on a 5513. Interestingly, also from Hong Kong.

The dial being a gloss/WG version is clearly wrong for a watch with this serial number but is claimed as being original, so the listing should be amended/taken down just because of that. BUT I am more interested in the issue of the case markings and would appreciate comments on this.

Err buddy Michael...this one looks earlier for Orchi to tell...
The 5513 watch case has been tampered with...
(FAKEEE in Orchi's book)

1. Wrong case stamping fonts...
2. Lug holes positions wrong...
which is why a different(501B) Endlinks
are used instead...
3. Crown Guards are wrong...




NOT original Rolex...

Dave! where are you and where is your fingerlonger???

How can one report this listing? The seller makes no claim that the watch is 100% Rolex and the description of the case avoids the same claim. Case: Stainless Steel 40mm case without crown wide by 47 mm long.

Without the word Rolex or the Rolex logo on the case there is no trademark violation.

Inquiring minds and all that.

The case has an illegal serial number and if the seller says Rolex it must be 100% Rolex unless stated differentially.
