Fishy Ads for CB

I have noticed several ads popping up at the same time for Journe Chronometre Bleu watches. They are all priced below what I think is market. See the picture--all the watches except the one listed at 28.875 seem odd.

All different sellers and on Rolex Forums, Timezone, watchnet and timezone.

If I'm correct the seller of the $28.875 watch, DAVIDSW, is one of the most respected members of this forum. Assuming, of course, it's actually him and not someone that cloned his username.

Agreed, that is likely the legitimate one vs the others. Price seems more realistic.

What sticks out that such a low production number watch would be listed so many times in such a concentrated period of time at a price seemingly below market. By different user names...

Yeah several of those are locked seems a scammer attempt with the 18.5 listings.

Yeah, all but the DSW ones are clear scams. I reported both of those on TRF and they were taken off quickly. As of late it also seems TZ is becoming somewhat of a cesspool for scam ads, and the mods are slow to take them offline too. Here, I've found the users banned within minutes of my report.

If you set the window further, I had one listed too... and I can assure that sales was 100% legit, and sold for way more than $18K!
