Smells fishy....

No pic of the HE valve, obviously no cyclopes on a SD. And you cant see any of the crown on the bracelet. I know the tag is in the way, but you should be able to see abit of it.
Wouldn't touch it...my $0.02

That whole scenario STINKS to high Heaven.

First off, the Sub crystal is much wider in diameter and would NEVER fit over the SD case. And the rest looks crappy too. Run away.

Highly suspicious. I emailed the guy to ask him - if he is honest he will yank the listing. In case he doesn't, I also reported it to eBay.

The word ROLEX and the coronet are touching! And the entire dial appears to be a lithograph or photocopy.

I am tempted to bid and then retract, making my reason for the retraction that it is not real!

Dont forget you would not have to change the crystal just glue a cyclops on.As long as you could get the cyclops quite easy to do,perhaps poor eye sight.

ROLEX WATCH

No it is not fake. The crystal was switched to a cyclops by the original
owner because he could not read the date.

Hmmmmmmm.........

Hmmmmmmm.........

Sounds bogus. If it were true then the seller should go out of their way to explain it rather that trying to dupe some newbie. Still hoping the listing gets yanked. As some noted, there are other qustionable flaws and issues with the watch.

Further evidence of probable fraud - the seller has not added additional information to the listing re: the cyclops to address the questions he is obviously receiving.
