DRSD on Ebay

What do you guys think of this one? Got to be fake right?

This seller is actually a member of TRF and has a couple of items for sale here as well.

Really? So is this auction going to end up going much, much higher? Don't these typically go for 10 of thousands of dollars?

I found him, he goes by the same name here, yiannis. I have actually looked at his posts before. All, or most at least, of his watches that he sells have NATO type bands, not the originals.

Err buddies...regardless of whether or not...he is one of the TRF members...
Orchi doesn't know him...

Lets get back to this DRSD...being listed in eBay n highlighted in here...
for scrutiny...

Dial: Said to be of 1665 DRSD Dial...Mk. IV...by RSC...

On Jan-22-09 at 16:09:49 PST, seller added the following information:

The watch inspected today from RSC: they said that the dial is the version IV and all watch looks pretty fine. Thnx.




In Orchi's own opinion...that may NOT be true...!

Although the case serial # of the watch being listed is said to be 2,xxx,xxx...
which would seem to fit in to the range of DRSD with Mk. IV Dial...ONE can
see clearly that...there are discrepancies on the Dial being listed...vs...
the REAL Deal...DRSD Mk. IV Dial...which is quite commonly found...

Picture courtesy of www.doubleredseadweller.com



1. The positions of markers are by comparison...WRONG.
2. The Coronet is by comparison...WRONG.
3. The 6 n 9 o'clock rectangular markers are by comparison...WRONG.

This is the statement that bothered be the most. Is it that easy just to pop in to a RSC and have them look at a watch?

Orchi:

Can you take a picture of both and post them side by side for comparison purposes?

Could it be a re-dial?

I am by no means an expert. However, Yiannis has a very solid reputation selling I thought?

I guess he is not a regular in the 'Watchout' section.

As buddy Orchi said, the crown does not look right and hour markers are off. This appears to be a fakerroooo. There are A LOT of them floating around.

eBay "DRSD"...REDONE wannabe...to look like Mk. IV DRSD.



The REAL DEAL of Mk. IV DRSD...look like these pictures below.





DRSD Mk. IV...by www.doubleredseadweller.com

Err buddies...the relevant eBay Seller(also a TRF's forum member) has NOT
responded to this thread...where his eBay listing of the DRSD watch...
has been terminated...by eBay.

Orchi would like to invite the Seller for further discussion...since he is still
insisting that the Dial on his DRSD is genuine DRSD Dial...verified by RSC.
...in another
thread.

So buddy Yiannis...please come in...

Err buddies...this is by no means...an attempt to personalized the issues...
regarding the relevant eBay Seller...

Orchi has since done just a little homeworks...from
eBay's materials found on eBay Seller - YiannisZ (199 FB) - No Longer a
Registered User...


IF one were to look closely at the eBay Seller - YiannisZ 's FeedBack History...as a Buyer...
The Seller has been very actively buying specifically parts of Rolex watches...
perhaps for his own projects...

The parts maybe genuine...or the parts may be NOT genuine Rolex.

However...these particular ones caught a keen attention...

The relevant parts are ALL stated by the respective eBay Sellers as...
AFTERMAKET stuffs...REFINISHED...or REDONE...REDIALED(in Orchi's book)!


In Orchi's little "555" book...these are...
Wannabes...FAKEEEE...!!!
