My superpowers do not extend to the UK site. I contacted my person at E-Bay to have them look in to it. I am hoping that when this enhanced member reporting has gotten it's trial period over that it is extended to all of the E-Bay sites. Then we can get rid of crap all over the world instead of just the United States.

I don't know Toph. He's running it through the UK site maybe for that reason so that it can't be reported. I did give it to my contact at E-bay and let's see what they do with it.

This guy is a jerk, so be prepared for his response. I've emailed him in the past. He sees nothing wrong with converting a Tudor to appear as a model of Rolex. There is no such watch, never was, never will be...unless things change. Tudor is a brand name of a watch marketed by Rolex. I've posted a few times on these Rolex-Tudor dialed frankenwatches and the lawsuits stemming from their sale.

Err buddies...why is the listing still up n running...with 11 bids so far...?

eBay UK isn't bothered with counterfeit...fake n scrap items being listed for auction...?

or perhaps everyone at eBay has gone for Summer Holiday or what?

Err buddies...check this out...here's another scrap "Rolex Tudor" watch that the same PowerSeller - Swisstimeusa...is trying to sell...

What kind of a Rolex or Tudor can this be...??? There is NO such kind of genuine Rolex or Tudor Dial that Orchi knows of...let alone seeing the PowerSeller stating that the Dial is...refinished(with which type of Dial?)



Take a look at the inside of this caseback...it says 74300...which belong to Tudor Chrono-Time watch model...




What kind of craps is the Seller trying to sell in eBay...?

This one is ending in ONE hour...with upto 24 bids at this moment...!

Err buddies...here's another freaking watch listing of FAKED Rolex by the same eBay PowerSeller...Swisstimeusa.

Rolex NEVER made such a Dial...n watch.



Rolex NEVER made their genuine ROLEX watches with ETA movement...with which the Seller said...it was 'modified'...



Well as much as Orchi is concerned...they can call it anything they want in their listing descriptions...but Orchi says...these watches of theirs...are blatant FAKES n counterfeits...!!!

Orchi, I've been saying that for years, even sent email messages to ebay direct and contacted their security department. The only one that can probably stop this guy is the big guy himself...Mr Rolex Inc.

Err buddies...it's most of the time...mind boggling to see how many Buyers have since been fooled by...the so called blatant mistrust n misuse of eBay's PowerSeller status...

All along...unscrupulous watch traders have been hiding behind various eBay nicknames...to sell off or pass on their problematic...FAKED n counterfeited stocks...in many ways beyond the keen eyes n experience of unwary buyers...notice collectors n newbies...in the eBay auctions worldwide.

Buddy Springer is right...it has been long overdue...n these kind of unethical practices by those so called PowerSellers in eBay MUST be stopped...or eliminated as much as possible.

We are not talking about one off or relatively few scam attempts by other scumbags that come n go from time to time...but rather what we are seeing here...are continuous attempts by a PowerSeller whom has been accumulating well over 5000 "positive" feedbacks history in eBay in the course of over 7 years...for selling most of his stocks...which are blatant FAKES n counterfeits in eBay...n elsewhere in the worldwideweb that only God knows...

So buddies...lets unite with our vital experiences n rich resources...to put a stop at this madness in eBay for the good of all...

n Orchi salutes thee.

IT'S HAMMER TIME...!!!
