Yachtmaster on ebay!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Midsize-Rolex-Ya...QQcmdZViewItem


The bi-directional time lapse bezel is in great condition.
I could have sworn authentic only moves counter clockwise while fakes move both ways.

31 jewel superlative chronometer

Note: Pictures are stock pictures.
no real pictures sealed the deal as a FAKE to me


What do you guys think. I am pretty sure its a fake

The pictures posted are for 40mm yachtmaster and the pictures are from the listing of seller : inertwatches.
Beware of the listing

Yes, an actual YM bezel moves in both directions.

It looks like a standard SS bracelet rather than the polished center link.

Fake-a-roni.

The YM bezel is bi-directional.

The YM uses the same 31 jewel 3155 movement as the Sub and DJ.

He discloses that the first 4 pix aren't his. He might be as bad a photographer as I am.

My biggest red flag is that he has no history of watch sales. Most of his transactions, both sales and purchases, are DVD's and clothing.

I also caught this discrepancy:

Item description: Midsize Rolex Yacht Master Wristwatch!
Questions & Answers: It measures 40 mm across the face, to where the band starts on each side.

It might, in fact, be his deceased father's watch, but I'd look elsewhere. There are too many solid legit watch sellers on eBay to take a chance.
