When posting anything that's questionable post in the correct forum, and not the Rolex watch forum.

V646829 is a well know fake serial number. Google the serial and you'll see.

Where do you see that serial in this listing? I don't see it anywhere.

Also, what is noticeably wrong with this? I'm not super familiar with the Deep Sea but would like to learn about it.

Check out the warranty card. The serial number is on it.

Jagged edges on the lugs adjacent to the endlinks (back of watch) and the endlinks themselves are pretty obvious. Endlinks and endlink fitment frequently are the giveaway of a fake.

There is nothing in those photos that scream fake, that I can see. The "rehaut" may be out but that could be angle of the photo, only better photos could truly tell
GEM have open each watch, and I can see that both end links have been removed.

I am not confirming authenticity, but could not report this item

GEM do not intentionally sell fakes AND check each watch.
I am not affiliated to them but know them as a company
I will raise this to them

I think we're talking about different watches. Link in OP is not one for the suspect watch. The one GEM is selling looks OK at first blush

Then you ALL lost me.
This is the most powerful forum on the planet the link goes to a GEM watch that I personally can not see anything incorrect with.
REHAUT is out - but that may be angle of photo.

I have reported to GEM - they will surely pull if not correct

The issue is Ebay and how they manipulate the links, basically sending you to a watch thats available rather than one that sold or was removed for the usual reasons.

What I should have said was "Link in OP is not one for the suspect watch, ANYMORE".

Well that should be clearly stated here when know
There is nothing wrong with GEM listing (probably)

Maybe thread should be locked??
Thanks you clearing it up

Yeah, I've mentioned this several times. This new "feature" has really become a pain, and is a step backwards IMO. Not just for reporting items here, but for the overall eBay user experience in general. It even affects relisted items, and/or the ability to see what an item sold for. Instead of one click to see a new listing, it can take several to get to the "right" one now. I don't want to be forced to see "recommendations" or "similar items". Keep them in the scroll bars below at the bottom of each listing. Rant over...

Ok I think that's where the confusion was for me and others. I didn't see a warranty card in any of the pics from the original link.

I used to be part of a counterfeit reporting group on a coin forum, and one of their rules when posting a counterfeit, was to include a pic of the front and back of the coin, along with a link. Probably not practical here, just sayin'. At least we always knew what coin we were talking about. These watches get removed so quickly sometimes...... but that's probably a good thing overall though. That forum had too many rules imo, one of the reasons I'm not over there much these days. Much more relaxed here.
