But selling a counterfeit product is still not allowed on eBay regardless.
Taking into account that the disclosed counterfeit watch might then be resold as genuine I choose to report all counterfeits. If the seller wants to sell a Franken-watch then they are free to, providing they remove all labels and emblems.
IMHO.

But the watch isn’t counterfeit, that’s where we disagree. If someone buys a junked up 1957 Mustang and redoes it with various aftermarket parts and resells he isn’t selling a counterfeit car. Why should a watch be any different? Someone is perfectly within their rights to take an old omega watch case, take an old Rolex dial and an old Longines movement, touch it up to look fresh and sell as some sort of franken beast, as long as what is being sold isn’t misrepresented.
I do get that once these enter the market place someone else could turn around and try to sell as authentic, but that’s why buyers need to be diligent.
