Fake GMT Inserts on Ebay

This Ebay seller is selling a couple of fake (hooked two's) GMT inserts.

The idea of someone sending this person 200 USD for these makes my blood boil. The more people that report it, the faster the listing will be shut down.

If these are really replicas, links to them are prohibited by forum rules.

I dunno, I kind of agree that posting these links and getting more people on the “report” bandwagon isn’t a bad thing.

But admins get the say :shrug:

There are a lot more fake inserts than just those two. A lot! Buyer beware, there be monsters…

eBay doesnt care about the little fake things. I went 2 years reporting fake glidelock clasps. They would take them down and the seller would put them right back up. After a while, eBay just stopped taking down the listing.

The inserts are not genuine Rolex, but what do you mean by "fake." There is no trademark on Rolex inserts so manufacturing and selling look-a-likes is perfectly legal. But, if they are calling them genuine, that would be fraud.

I prefer calling the non genuine Rolex inserts aftermarket.
