Possibly Shady Rolex DeepSea currently $1025

http://ebay.to/2m7AhaF

Being sold as genuine Rolex.

A few things stand out other than the low price.

The printed marker at 6:00 in between "Swiss Made" doesn't seem tall enough compared to photos of known genuine DeepSeas.

The Ring Lock System text doesn't align with the dial markers as shown in photos of known genuine DeepSeas.

The coronet is perfectly covered by the second hand... which may indicate that the seller doesn't want it examined in the photos. The dial doesn't seem crisp.

It is from a seller in China.

Is there anything else I am missing?

Picture are insufficient for me to pass judgement personally.

It may be an easy call for others.

Highly Suspicious - but impossible to claim

I agree that it is suspicious, but difficult to fully be positive to determine that it is a replica posing as a genuine Rolex.
