Someone's getting burned HUGE on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Parts-...19.m1438.l2649

Bidding was at $500 yesterday, now over $6000. It's a parts lot with good and bad mixed in: a fake vintage Daytona dial and case, but possibly a correct 722-1 movement (I think it's fake but curious to see what others think). I compared the movement to pics from a reputable source, and it looks like a very decent fake--some of the text doesn't line up correctly, the jewels look a little different, etc. Definitely trying harder than the average POS. 6263 Caseback is also fake.


What looks like an awesome mega fat font black 1675 insert, with some other good inserts, and what might be an original 7205 bracelet, among other parts which look ok.

I emailed him a question about the insert and told him the case was fake, but he didn't respond.

THoughts?

The movement looks counterfeit to me. That would be enough to get ebay to remove the listing, it has a bridge marked with "Rolex".
