It's the seller, not the watch . . . again

Okay . . .

Men's Pre-owned Rolex President 36mm 18k Gold Day-Date 18038

Can anyone provide a single compelling reason to believe this seller actually owns the watch on offer?

I'm not going to report it until a couple of responses have been posted . . .

. . . eleven grand on a watch on offer by a guy with zero feed-back in the past year?

Keep in mind, you're buying the seller, and this seller, based on reputation (feed-back) is a non-entity.

I'd bet dollars to donuts the account is hacked . . .

In this case it is also the watch. It's fake. At least part of it anyway.

But I wouldn't buy the seller either. No feedack as a seller and only offering a ridiculous ring and watch for sale...

Since it's probably impossible to determine where the seller stole the photos, it's wiser to look at the seller, his past sales (none), and his feed-back (all as a buyer).

In as much as the account has been dormant for more than a year, he's a ghost, and the watch is, well, it could be anywhere . . .


I reported the auction a few minutes ago, and it should be gone shortly*.


*By my watch, the deletion took about 31 minutes
