There are various factors which stop me being so unequivocal about this being a straightforward case of fraud. First, it appears that the seller is itself an auction house / liquidator so it's likely that it's a company involved, with a lot to lose if they are found to be deliberately engaging in fraudulent activity. Also, they appear to have never sold any APs before on eBay (I don't know about outside eBay). The watch is described in such an amateurish and incorrect manner that the person who did the write up probably doesn't know anything about ROOs beyond what someone told him or what he found on an internet site. It just doesn't seem right that someone would go all the way to conduct this fraud and then ruin it all with such a basic, basic error in the description that no-one who knows about ROOs would ever make. In any event, it is absolutely correct that the auction is reported, because the watch is definitely a rep.

Given that he describes the watch as a "Royal Oak Offshore Jumbo", the seller hasn't got a clue about what he's selling.

The ROO in that auction is the same rep that George posted. Good spot Admin.

That's interesting, if only for the reason that I thought that watches are generally set to 10:10 in adverts.

The teaser trailer looks good, but I suspect there's more than meets the eye...

Is the 10 o'clock pusher functional, i.e. rotate the bezel?

Damn, you got there before me...

They have rather a lot of official "crackdowns on piracy" but always seem to lose interest in properly implementing the policy. Maybe it was another slow news day...

Does this one have the correct length hands?

I completely agree.

As other people have said, the best thing to do is just set up a direct debit so that your balance is automatically paid every month, and then you don't have to worry about interest charges. Have a look at reputable financial advice sites like Motley Fool. They should have a comparison on the companies offering the best deals, as well as a discussion forum covering all of the basics. Obvious things to look out for are cashback and freebies, e.g. airmiles.

Any UK sites would also be useful. Thanks.

Is there a website link to showing the actual comments, rather than hearsay? I'm a big fan of the K Man, so until I read or listen to the comments I'm not going to pass judgment...

Is it "Bing Bang Bong" by Corky Buchek?

I'm on an 8Mbit line and I find the pages on the site have been loading quite slowly recently. Quite often the pages get stuck at "waiting for ads.rwg.cc" for around 30 seconds, and sometimes for up to a few minutes. I use Firefox.

Small seconds at 9 is a dealbreaker for me as well.

Wah Wah Wee Wah! Hopefully this also means the RO Chrono is back on the agenda...

I can't log in either. I've reset my password and it still won't let me in.

Lol... this actually has one improvement over the original... even though the bezel screws are wrong, at least they are aligned.

I remember looking at this site when he first started up. His watches are way overpriced compared to other sources.

The daddy of all watches. Can't wait for the pics either

Is the seconds hand on the previous version noticeably smoother than the co-axial?

Calm down Chronus, no need to get so upset.
