Is this a fake on EBAY?

I think this might be a fake but not 100% sure...

I wouldn't be so quick to call it a fake. I vaguely recall seeing similar displays in Jewelry stores many years ago, but I am not positive that they were Rolex. There have been many ad displays over the years, so...

Well, excuse me for being quick.

I recall e-bay was flooded with these helmets a while back all being originally sold from Canada.

It looks pretty cool, but the dial isn't exactly great.

The safest bet on ebay for buying designer stuff is to buy only USED. A better chance of not getting a fake. Polo clothing, Rolex watches, etc. Not perfect but better than the new stuff. With good resale value on ebay.

If the helmet doesn't look like this - it is fake. None of the helmets came with clocks.
