https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rare-Vin...EAAOSwv~ddyN42 This was a aftermarket dial and hands that you have way overpaid for..... Hope you realise. |

I'm also concerned about this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-196...53.m1438.l2649
There are no straight-on shots of the dial, and the lume on the hands and dial just looks too perfectly matched and aged. The seller also a refinished dial listed where the lume looks very similar. And the wear on the inner edge of the insert is strange. Great case, though.

The seller mentions the dial and handset are aftermarket, still I almost fell out of my chair when it sold for 15k

I don’t see how they wouldn’t realize that...the seller fully disclosed it in the opening sentence in the description. Nothing was hidden. “Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner timepiece from 1966. It is a men's Rolex Submariner steel watch with a matt dial and hands. Dial and hands looks to be aftermarket (see 8th pic) Everything else is correct.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I was hoping if the buyer didn't see it first time around, he would think again on paying $15K for that watch. Might be too late now. |

Not my argument - but he states "dial and hands are aftermarket" - you implying he never got that from the listing?

Haha?
Not going to be suckered into a pointless internet troll argument... Point made. Hope the buyer realises. All his / hers to lose.. |
