Suspect Sub

[winged wheel]

Looks highly suspicious to me. Cr@ppy pictures and all. Low feedback. What do you think?

Bad photos are a big red flag for me. No excuse for them in this day and age. I ould understand maybe one slightly out of focus pic, but all of them??? Hiding something IMHO.

Impossible to tell with those pictures . Doesn't seem to bother some high feedback buyers .

Didn't think of that the watch seems good? IMHO.

The box and paper is the only thing in focus, I would not buy it except for a face to face. Does anybody know what eBay does when a buyer finds out it is a fake and wants his money back? Does the buyer have to have a written paper from Rolex USA? Then does the seller say he switched it? Inquiring minds want to know.

When you are a first time seller of a big ticket item, Paypal will hold payment until a Positive Feedback is received.

So if one gives them a negative for slow shipping payment is held? Of course not. What if it is real but the buyer doesn't like it? What if it is fake eBayPal can't tell and really doesn't want to get involved.

Those photos are terrible, but the watch looks legit from what I can see

If the seller has an old digital like I do, it's a very good reason to have crummy pictures. Welcome back Dave.

I'm not sure if the paper is legit. I have a '98 Sub and it doesn't have that punctuated serial number the the top.

I am sure there are a lot of "if this or that"...but the main issue is that IF the watch is legit, paypal will release funds.

What if it is real but the buyer doesn't like it? - I would recommend the buyer check the return policy.

What if it is fake eBayPal can't tell and really doesn't want to get involved. - then you are shit out of luck!

watch looks ok, but I dont understand why people have such a hard time taking half decent photos of something

Couldn't agree with you more Steve, I know the effort I would go to, and I'd say the same with all the members here on TRF, 500 shots and take a couple of days to get the right ones, or just send the watch to Jocke or Kyle and get them to take the shots, Larry also take a brilliant shot

I've seen sellers with a legitimate Rolex up for grabs, horrible photos yet they take a pic of an old cell phone in perfect focus, different priorities I guess.
