I can't comment on the clasp itself, but will point out the following on
the listing ...

Although the picture in the listing is pretty fuzzy, one can see that the clasp
is different from what is pictured. Even though the seller puts a disclaimer
about 'stock pictures' at the bottom of his listing and mentioned the
changed clasp in the text, I'm not sure that adheres to EBAY Seller rules;
for one thing stock photos are not allowed for used items. That being
said, I don't know whether Ebay would consider this a SNAD (significantly
not as described) because the clasp change was mentioned in the text.
Could argue either way.

Did you return the watch and get a refund? It appears to be listed again.

Also, check the For Sale forums here; there have been several 169622
for sale here in the last few months at good prices (sub $4k), by sellers
who are highly reputable. You can check the 'whos who' forum.

Finally, I'm not sure about your contention regarding the model numbers
on the fake bracelet being illegal; The Rolex name and Crown are
protected by trademark and copyright law; that is clear. To my knowledge
though one can't copyright or trademark a *simple* number (although one
could for a distinctive design/font).
