Is this a genuine listing?

Hi all,
I've seen this GMT listed on and off from time to time and wanted to know if it's genuine or not. I'm thinking not. Thanks everyone

Seems a bit strange to only have one blurry photo of the watch.

Also, you'd be better served posting this in the "Watchout" section - where TRF regulars swim by and appraise.

Welcome to TRF BTW.

Welcome to TRF BTW.
^ There are 10 more in the listing's description.

I'm no expert, but everything LOOKS pretty right. It is a lot easier for people to notice an immediate fake or frankenwatch, rather authenticate a watch via the internet with some pictures. In addition to that, some people steal others' photos and use them as their own. They then wait for the buyer to pay and a week or so later when your watch is supposed to arrive, there is nothing in mail and the "seller" cuts communication. That's the risk with xBay.

If you are wanting to purchase a nice used Rolex I would try a local AD or a trusted seller in the For Sale section of the forum.

The seller has a perfect feedback score and his history is mostly made up of watches and watch related items, some of them high end. It does not look like a hijacked account.

If you're thinking of bidding, sending the seller a few questions can help ease your mind. But the Bay is not without risk.

The watch appears 100% genuine. The price seems excessive though.
