When you bolded certain words you make it look like the aftermarket band was the purpose of the sentence.

This is how it reads:

BeckerTime is proud to offer this gorgeous GENUINE ROLEX timepiece. It is a Ladies Rolex Stainless Steel Datejust Date Watch w/White MOP Diamond & Bezel that has been fitted with a brand new custom aftermarket oyster band.

My contention is that the ad is worded and displayed to do two things:

1. Downplay the HUGE NEGATIVE QUALITY the buyer should be aware of.
2. Muddy the water for the non-savvy. It almost sounds like a REALLY GOOD thing to have a brand new custom aftermarket oyster band Some people might easily assume OYSTER is a Rolex trademark.

To be totally HONEST and FAIR it should read this way
