Looks like the auction ended..

Kind of sketchy - they have the correct ref (16570) along with an incorrect (216570) in the title. I'm sure they are trying to just get more views in searches but can definitely be misleading to the uneducated buyer.

yeah i was going through their history, all of their explorers are listed there way

[iliketime]

its here!!! how do i share pictures??

[offrdmania]

Reading feedback for the seller, seems like there are some sketchy practices. Selling watches with aftermarket parts and listing those parts as original factory, wanting buyers to pay for items outside of eBay and selling items outside of eBay and not ending auctions before items are bought on eBay. It sounds as if the OP bought the watch already so hopefully everything is good to go on the watch.

[iliketime]

yea, i hope so too, im going to have it checked out

Let others more experienced on this reference chime in but I see some concerns.

This place is literally located at the end of my street. It's a pawn shop. I've been at this house for 4 years and never gone in. I've offered to check this place out for people. I wish I saw this post sooner. They have loads of auctions on ebay. They put the other serial number in the description to garner hits when people search on eBay. I'll check this place out in the next couple of days and write up my opinions of it and the folks running it.

I am not saying it's fake but the watch in your photos is different from the one in auction. The "II" of "EXPLORER II" on the dials are different.

If that consoles you, OK.
That watch you got has issues.
It is NOT the one in the listing, on top of other things.

[iliketime]

please elaborate, thanks!

It may not be a fake but it may fit with prior complaints about the shop. Swapping out factory parts with aftermarket yet selling the piece as 100% original.

Hmm, I was at Tourneau today and sorta got them to take a look at the watch. They were willing to offer $4000 towards a trade in or -20% to buy the piece. perhaps its best to just return it and save myself the agony chalk it up as a lesson

ah i see what you mean, the II is more like the M serial's dial, while this one is has a more seperated II. this was from comparing one of the Explorer IIs for sale in the for sale section

It was through eBay. Use the eBay return service. This way you have eBay and Paypal behind you. List all differences from original pictures in auction to what you received as the reason for return. You did not receive as described or what was pictured. I would also list the auction headline discrepancy.

[schsieh]

I'd return as the watch isn't as described. Not only the "II" of "EXPLORER II", the position of "I" in "SWISS" is different from the listing.

Yes, that was the initial thought that made it seem ok to buy from your shop. so many other more expensive rolexes than that explorer ii have been sold. Tourneau did verify it for me, although they claimed they never do that. But they lowballed me on it.
