Presidential TT Datejust?

You have to wonder if this highly rated eBay seller really knows what he's doing.

Another obvious tell is that the Rolex rehaut engraving doesn't include the serial number.

The guy sells beer mugs and glass statues...probably doesn't have a clue he bought a fake Rolex regardless of his feedback. I bet he trades two die cast planes and a mug once owned by George Armstong Custer for that watch...will someone please break it to him gently that he got TOOOOK!

Well, I just couldn't resist...I sent the following to the seller:
"I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your Rolex is fake and not a very good fake at that. Please take it to a local jeweler and have it opened before you harm your reputation in the community."
Maybe he will get it to someone before he makes a big mistake...I doubt it, but then us indians haven't trusted you guys since the first Thanksgiving when you tried to get us drunk and rape our women and livestock.

The guy has not responded to my questions. The logo on the band looks like it was applied with a dremel tool, gold plating is coming off below the clasp, box is fake...now the manual looks real, but not $1,300 worth of real...I think it need to be reported and I'm just the sorry redskin to do it!

Sent a report to Ebay. I would hate to see a bidder get screwed.

this is the response i got from this

Dear cell1er,

Hi, no. I did not know anything about watch. I took many pictures to show
in Ebay ad. I only know that the watch is running and someone may want to
buy the working watch to wear, not a dead watch. Thank you. Giao

The watch had been tested by the owner and is working fine. The purpose to sell this watch is for someone who need a watch in good working condition to wear. The watch belonged to a jewelry seller who is currently selling many different watches and jewelry in a shop in a small town. She will be listing more watches and jewelry in the near future for people who like the color and the shape of the items. All watches will be tested to make sure it is in good working condition before it is being listed for sale. Thank you. Rosagd04

so they are listing for someone else who will be listing more in the future
can't wait

Dear rosagd04,

I am looking for a Rolex Datejust like the 16233. Are these pictures of the actual watch? There seems to be a lot of pieces out of place for this to be a genuine Rolex. Could you remove the bracelet and provide pics of the watch case to validate the model and serial# of the watch?

Thanks!

Sad that someone will be taken for $1300+

If I had to guess, he knew you were on to him with your questions...
