jeffer384 was the guy who attempted to sell the watch that had all of the names to it. I couldn't resist and sent him a little jabbing e-mail to see what he was thinking. Here is my message and then his response:

WoW. You have all the bases covered. It is a Platinum President Yachtmaster Masterpiece Explorer Datejust Submariner Daytona Day-Date President GMT? I've been collecting Rolex watches for a long time and have never heard of that combination. Is this new from Rolex? Come out of Basel '08 this year?

You really think this is going to fly?

His response back to me.

You have all the bases covered. You change your id many times. you have 3 feedback yet you collect rolex watches. You really think this is gonna fly. Get a life you asshole.



I couldn't resist with sending him the little jab. Anyway the watch is no longer listed. It is an invalid. Keep an eye out for the guy as he will probably try to re-list the piecea-de-poop.

Thanks,
Daniel.
They have been E-Bay members since 1998 and have 3,328 sales and a feedback rating of only 98.7%. Every negative feedback centered around either watch not as described and had to send to Rolex for repairs which cost the buyer money, no refund allowed for a bad deal, a couple claiming the watch was fake, poor shipping, bad communication, etc. In most they took very little responsibility for the problem and pushed it back on the buyer which is always a poor piece of customer service. To their credit, they had a lot of good deals as well. It's a tough decision to make but your call. I always suggest people go to the feedback section and check the person's feedback which is public record.

The gentleman who bought the fake Rolex the other day with the; "Buy It Now" feature on E-Bay looked at the number and saw it was 100%. The problem with this is I checked the feedback, the guy had 5 buys for all cheap items, never made a sale, had 100% feedback from the buys, and the person never checked this out. Now he has to go through the hassle with his credit card company, E-Bay, maybe even the scammer himself. It pays to research and nothing you can't do yourself as it's public record.

Err buddy Terry...kindly assist to ask the Seller...conceptionrecords (1573) of this Ref 16610 Submariner...the following questions:-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=015

1. If he stated the 16610 is "N" series which would be made around 1992 or so...why does it have the "SWISS MADE" Luminova Dial...instead of having Tritium Dial instead...?




2. Under the same circumstance...why does it have the different bracelet SEL setup...instead of NON-SEL ones...?



That said...if he does response in good manners...please suggest to him to post clearer pics...n make amends to the descriptions in his listing...n give him a pat on his head to wish him good luck with his sales...

However...if he does NOT response asap...or when he does...he gives you a hard time...err...you could terrynatorized that listing of his...asap also.

Thank you very very much...

I don't understand how he has 100% rating as he has ripped off many people. I reported him.

Err buddy Terry...this might be too late for checking...

The reputable Seller jewelersontime...advertized his 16610 Submariner "Z" Series for auction in eBay...BUT the picture that he posted on the COSC Cert...shows a "D" Series...instead.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=013



Could it have been an innocent mistake...?

Err buddy Terry...in another find...Orchi would say this would be highly doubtful...that the watch package could be genuine...to begin with...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=009

The eBay Seller..."tel a phoneman"...has little or no history of selling genuine Rolex watches in eBay...

Nevertheless...it does NOT take a keen eye to notice the discrepancies on his listing of this watch...said to be 16610 LV Submariner Z series...

These pictures clearly show only ONE obvious suspicion...the color of the correction liquid differs from YELLOW...to RED...BLUE to even GREEN...etc etc...in the same listing of pictures of ONE watch...


[IMG]http://i21.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/fc/75/c480_3.JPG[/[IMG]





n the ONLY picture of the watch...is too BLURRISH...




Also...the listing comes with an INCREDIBLE STORY...from the Seller...Unbelievable!!!

Err buddy Terry...please check this DAYTONA 16523 watch out...n get eBay to get rid of it...from its suspicious listing...

The Seller(with little or no prior feedback on watch related items)...aturtlehunter(57 FB) describes the watch as being F Series or something like that...heheh...little does he know that there's NO such thing as F series(production year 2004) Ref 16523 with Zenith Chronograph movement.

Rolex stopped using Zenith chronograph movement by the early P Series in early 2000. Thereafter...Rolex introduced the Ref 116520 Daytona Cosmograph with in-house Cal.4131 chronograph movement with SuperLuminova Dials...

Unless he made serious mistake unintentionally...or he wannabe a standup comedian...???

"You are bidding on a beautiful, clean, barely worn men's Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref 16523.
It is bought from rolex authorized dealer from tourneau watch store. This watch has a Zenith movement in which Rolex no longer uses

I have enjoyed wearing this watch the few times that I did, but its time to move on,
I am saving up for a Double Red Sea Dweller. Serial #F0710XX"


http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Cosmograph...QQcmdZViewItem




Here is a couple of pics showing the correct shape of the crown guards on the case of Genuine Ref 16520/3 Daytona with Zenith movement...you would notice the distinct "[" at the base of crown guards just next to the crown n pusher buttons.

Err buddy Terry...this might be too late...

Orchi has seen pictures of this watch(one of which show the loose sticker on caseback) being sold by another Seller recently...but can't seem to find it now...

It's now being "sold" by a new Seller Aaron-Watch of Spain(2 FB) with only 2 feedbacks...on Private Auction basis.

1. This listing said to be for...NEVER Worn Ref 16600 Sea Dweller Z Series...starting price USD999...is it a joke or stolen pictures?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Oyster-Per...QQcmdZViewItem

2. This listing said to be for...Ref 116520 Daytona Cosmograph F Series...starting price USD999...is it a joke or stolen pictures?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Cosmograph...QQcmdZViewItem

3. This listing said to be for...Patek Philippe # 5065A Jumbo Aquanaut...starting price USD10,200...stolen pictures?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Patek-Philippe-5...QQcmdZViewItem

4. This listing said to be for...Rolex Ref 118219 Rose Gold DayDate President...starting price USD12,150...stolen pictures?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-18K-Rose-G...QQcmdZViewItem

Please ask the Seller to show additional RECENT DATED...or WRIST SHOTS close up pictures of the watches that he listed...bet ya he may NOT comply...

Err buddy Terry...here's another eBay PowerSeller having 100% feedback history...yet he is listing FAKE Rolex watches...so called "Rolex Tudor"....

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-Rolex-Tudor...QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Tudor-M-O-...QQcmdZViewItem

Guess...it may be possible that many eBay Buyers...prefer to buy these cheap scraps...rather than paying high market prices for genuine Rolex watches...instead.

Orchi cannot discount that possibility...seeing that there are so many of these FAKE Rolex watches being bid for n sold in eBay...

Amazing...BUT true...!

Err buddy Terry...here's another from a near "Perfect" eBay PowerSeller - Perfectly Charmed.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Ladies-Vin...QQcmdZViewItem

Please take note: This could be the toughest cookie to crack...as ALL the links n pictures...in the Seller's listings in eBay won't even allow anyone else to do "right click" n "copy paste"...

Very clever Seller...
