Milgauss, almost fooled me, but got the clasp wrong

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-MILGAU...item4aaf428536 Man this thing looks good, but the second pic of the clasp gives it away...

I like the engraved case back - gas escape valve. Model number on bad hologram does not match warrantee card.

Notice the other pic with the "actual" Milgauss type clasp?

So could ha have mixed up pics from a SD? I mean it suddenly has crown guards.

Andreas, I think you are right.....looks like the seller mixed up that one picture, between the Sea Dweller (4th picture) he sold here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-SEA-DW...#ht_500wt_1203) and the Milgauss he is currently selling....

Good catch!

Seems to me that the second pic of of the wrong watch. The other pics show the Milgauss to look like mine.

... and that one's certainly genuine.

I seriously doubt it is a fake with his good and high feedback. A mistake in listing maybe. I sure get tired of the amateur detectives on this forum.

The watch does look good and the picture of the sea dweller muat have slipped in by mistake or was leftover from a previous listing . You buy on Ebay based on the pictures supplied and I would not be bidding on this listing because of that . Horseco did very well bringing this to our attention , so I can not agree with you qualifying him as an amateur detective

What do you mean by: "I sure get tired of the amateur detectives on this forum."?

Just asking.

I reported it.

Hopefully this seller will be tossed off Ebay until he lifts his game.

Amateur detectives....?

Any more smart remarks from you and you might go the same way....mate.
