I have been emailing this guy on Craigslist. yea yea I know, but thanks for reminding me...

And he says this:

Am selling my Rolex because i have a new one as a birthday gift some months ago and i really need $ now. I just move to MD for a new job and i have to spend from my pocket before my first pay. Find some pics to know what we are talking about

I asked if he would meet me at ROlex dealer...

So he want's $1800 What do you think?

Looks fishy...

tkerrmd · 13 November 2015, 04:03 AM

I had this, do the hour markers look the same?

nick c · 13 November 2015, 04:10 AM

$1800 very fishy run fast

REDiesel · 13 November 2015, 04:15 AM

$1800 is way too cheap and a red flag if it's too good to be true it probably is. What are those links/pieces by the box?

dabbotjordan · 13 November 2015, 04:28 AM

If you like it,ask him to meet you at your nearest AD to have verified as real.if he doesn't want to you know it ain't for real!

Looks like jubilee links.

droptopman · 13 November 2015, 04:38 AM

One of the tell signs on a TT is the SEL link which on most fakes is gold on the top but silver on the sides. This one appears to have the gold all around the SEL link and for the matter the rest of the gold links, but still could be a good wrap/overlay. The pics are not very good so it is hard to evaluate the dial. Meeting at the AD is a great idea. Rarely do we ever see legit deals like this on a Rolex.

OP, really dig your user name.

Run.

KenNethcole · 13 November 2015, 04:51 AM

This will either be a deal of a life time or another scam. Tread carefully my friend.

vipergts · 13 November 2015, 04:55 AM

You know better.

AK797 · 13 November 2015, 05:06 AM

looks crap, pass.

Gerardus · 13 November 2015, 05:07 AM

no way!

Danny83 · 13 November 2015, 05:07 AM

Funny looking bezel, if it was real it would have been sold in 5 mins

Tri-Tip · 13 November 2015, 05:08 AM

Too cheap, something is fishy

SWISSAHOLICS · 13 November 2015, 05:11 AM

Nope run away!

He could get 1800 bucks for a Yachtmaster like this at any decent pawnshop and he could pick it back up in 90 days when he gets his first "paycheck" he could sell it for 3 times that amount then...I would definitely have it checked out.

tbonesteak · 13 November 2015, 05:24 AM

Offer him $1050, best and final... If he accepts, then you'll have peace of mind that it was a scam.

Regardless, I'd still say run.

the_Hunter · 13 November 2015, 05:28 AM

I think there is a better chance the watch in the pics is real and the one he shows up with is fake.... or you know he could try to rob you when you come to get this one.

andrewd · 13 November 2015, 05:34 AM

I apply the 3 second rule. Look at the picture for 3 seconds. If it immediately screams junk, then it usually is. Compare to Dr Tom's pic. Night and day difference.

Sublover2166 · 13 November 2015, 05:46 AM

A supposed two tone watch with a stainless crown? P.O.S.

Edit;even if crown is correct metal, if it looks too good to be true, .....

Sam, rule of thumb with Craigslist. People do NOT sell genuine high end Swiss watches there. Don't get burned my friend.

That's what I initially thought, but these do have SS crowns.

eonflux · 13 November 2015, 05:51 AM

The crown looks too small
The hour hand looks weird
The endlinks look terrible
And the pics aren't very clear, if they were, the watch may look more fishy

silverbullet818 · 13 November 2015, 05:54 AM

Tell him to meet you at the AD if he says no, then it's likely a scam.

You can also offer him MORE with the request to meet in the lobby of your local police station. That right there will make all scammers run!

Samppala · 13 November 2015, 05:54 AM

Bring a Bergeon and crack that SOB open =).

Watch looks fine to me, if there really is a watch. You however will probably end up without a watch and without the $1800...
