A very unique piece made in wongtyme china, like the upside down picture.My little frogs gone green with envy,the colour of a proper LV bezel.

Oh yes, it's a real genuine fake, Gabe. The most glaring thing is the bezel. Rolex does not make a Sub with a two tone bezel.

Wait a minute. Isn't that the Sub JJ traded in for his fake YM?

As for the number of bids, now you know how many stupid people there are out there in fleabay land.

Why bother. The bidding still has 4 days to go. Let's see how high it goes.

Just amazing.......

Of all the things that 'the man in the street' knows is faked, number 1 must be Rolex/expensive watches.

Yet I'm totally amazed how many people just don't have a clue, and will bid on something that's clearly not the real deal!!!!!

I guess the old saying 'a fool and his money are soon parted' rings true here - but this kind of thing actually makes me really angry

Well, looking at the account, it was hijacked. The account that was listing this Rolex has not had any feedback for over 12 months. Someone managed to hack it for evil use. ;-)

Maybe. Or he could have been laying low. You'll notice the guy is a buyer. He's only done one sale out of 90+ tranactions.

You bleeding heart !! I hope it sells! Anyone want to go in on a plane ticket for me to China? We can all put the watches up for sale, and reccommend each other in the feedback. Then with our ill-gotten booty, party at Padi's!!

Wait a minute! Have you all considered the possibility that this might be a genuine 50th anniversary model of the fake Pepsi Submariner (with the flat "S")?

Come on now gang... maybe he took it to his local AD and just had the pepsi bezel put on the Sub... no?

Ebay is pretty damn irresponsivle to leave this list active, maybe they see the number of bids and are convinced it's a genuine watch... GENIUS!!!

Most of the bids are from people with 0-5 feedbacks, so they are either shilling or pulling this guy's chain.
