eBay Seller - fanfanxxxx of Japan has 2 separate accounts...

Err buddies...1st he is known as eBay Seller - fanfan162 of Japan...

The Seller listed a questionable RED Sub with REDONE Dial...
which ended with somebody winning the auction ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-VINTAGE-16...3A1%7C294%3A50

Reported to eBay...BUT no action taken...then.

Now the offending pictures of the REDONE Dial have since been conveniently deleted
from the ended listing...(one of possible loopholes when Seller chooses 3rd party image hosting services...
Seller can at his convenience delete any pictures he so desires at anytime...!
)

2ndly...he is also known as eBay Seller - fanfanbuy_2009 (0) of Japan...

This time the Seller is attempting to auction his so called "project" watch...
which is misrepresented as A DOUBLE RED Sea-Dweller...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-VINTAGE-16...1%7C240%3A1318

As far as Orchi is concerned...that "DRSD" watch...is FAKEEEEEEE...!

It has...

1. WRONG Case...FAKEEEEEEE...(even has 'extra' digit '1')
2. WRONG CaseBack.....FAKEEEEE.
3. WRONG Dial...(DRSD Mk. 1 wannabe)
4. WRONG n FAKEEEE Bracelet setup...
5. WRONG Cal. 1560 movement...(not correct to the DRSD)

The Seller's descriptions in the listing...
could be deemed as vague...elusive...
n at worst would be deceptive...!

Here are the current images posted in the offending listing...
(not surprisingly...these could soon be deleted by Seller)

buddy orchi... good eyes
the watch seems to have a vietnam dial, questionable mov't (should be a hack 1570 mov't not a 1560), case and case back seem to be an aftermarket, and the bracelet seems questionable also.... so better watch out !!!!!!!

Good catch buddy Orchi!

Only value here is in the (wrong) movement.

I bet the band is after market also with Rolex markings (and why no pics). I will ask for more pictures of the band to be sure.

The watch/seller are big pile of
