According to crowncollection who is an expert dial and bezel are a problem as well, than it is fair to say that the seller offered a counterfeit watch for sale.

Any body pointing this out here in the watch out section has the right to do so and should not be blamed by other members just because the seller in question is well known.

I sometimes think people her are biased towards some sellers who are commonly known as reputable or are members of this forum and start to become defensive when someone finds a questionable watch they offer.
I agree with what you wrote, but your assumption is incorrect. The clasp is genuine as noted in the auction and appears genuine. Replacing a stretched bracelet with a genuine clasp is very common. I would not call this bracelet genuine and the seller, beckertime is not calling it genuine. The seller states the clasp is genuine and the bracelet is aftermarket. I see no deception in the listing. With that said, I don't see any violation of trademark law since the clasp is genuine, appears genuine, and the bracelet is listed as aftermarket. There is no trademark or the bracelet links.
