Here is further proof that the moonphase listed is a possible fake. He claims his model is Rolex 81806. In Antiquorum there is a Rolex Moonphase for sale that states these were:

81806, only produced as a prototype, according to Rolex correspondance dated Aug. 22, 1986. Similar watches are published in "Collecting Rolex Wristwatches" ...

Here is a picture of the one listed by Antiquorum that is estimated at fetching $120,000 - $150,000:

Notice it also has the officially certified chronometer rating on the dial and looks like the pictures I posted earlier; not like the one on E-Bay.

I feel confident in the reporting of this sale to E-Bay.

Here is another example in E-Bay that is a fake and being sold similarly as the other auction. I will report this one as well:
