$15,000 US as the starting bid has to be even more hilarious than the fact that it's fake (IMO). Brand new, you're looking at $10,500-$11,000. Wondering where this person thought $15k was a good starting bid.

Crazy. If you're going to pass off a fake at least make it mildly plausible and make it a 'too-good-to-be-true" deal. Reported

Craziest buying history I've ever seen

Something very screwy about that feedback history. 69 as a buyer within 6 months yet Ebay only shows 23. Wonder what the trick was here. Never seen that before

Something Amiss Here. Maybe I contact eBay? Check That, If you read the "How is Feedback percentage calculated?", Duplicate Entries from the same seller during the same week don't count.

This isn't a fake here.. it's a customized 90s model... definitely not NIB... this listing has too many contradictions and the $15,000 start price is insane... but it does indeed list the model as 16233 and confirms the custom dial which I believe to be accurate... it looks like this seller cut and paste his information on another listing for an actual NIB all original model...

That's The One! But, it's gone. Only the title remains, the full listing page is gone... Very Strange.

If it's sold, you get the eBay message "The listing you're looking for has ended."

Hence my Twilight Zone reference. The price goes green when someone clicks BIN. Wish we had the listing number.
