alligoat Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Here's a link to a Sea-Dweller on ebay Taiwan. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Sea-Dweller-1660...1QQcmdZViewItem This person is selling some decent looking reps at not too bad a price. Has anyone else run across this site? The cg's on the sub and sea-dweller are pretty nice IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Well, I don't consider it a scam, but I think it's interesting because it goes against ebay's policy of counterfeit merchandise. And I was curious if anyone else had run across Burberrylucy, and maybe even purchased from her/him? And I do like those damn cg's- I wish our dealers would take note!

elwopo Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 The picture of the item does look good to someone as new as I am as well. What I'm curious about is that I could swear I read somewhere that genuine Rollie pix have the hands at 10:10. I did notice that the sellers' items I looked at were all at 10:10. If my memory is correct...then couldn't these be pix of gens...and what you get could be quite different? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Close, but in official Rolex pics, the hands are set at 10:10:and 31 seconds. These are just a little off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 OK, I'll agree, they're not official Rolex pics, but they are pics of gens... so like elwopo says, who knows what you'll really get. Thanks, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) I have sent her a few email in regards to the mid-size Yachtmaster. I asked for more pictures and a couple of days later she sends me these: Looks like a genuine watch to me. I sent a reply stating I would buy THAT watch if she sent another picture with my ebay name in the photo. I wonder what she will reply Edited September 26, 2006 by Mickey Padge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I bought one - I'll let you know. Bill What watch did you purchase? I hope you get it and that its a fantastic replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGladeRaider Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Well boys and girls, I didn't think it was possible that I could buy a watch like nothing in my collection from BurberryLucy -- but I was wrong. The cheap piece of junk she sent me was like nothing in my collection, nothing I would have in my collection, and nothing I would have bought on Canal Street for $35. It does have a wonderfully deep rehaut . . . because of an ugly plastic white spacer The "Swiss Movement," isn't. The bracelet is . . . how shall i put this . . . let's just say you don't want it. The date font is not 2.5 BurberryLucy is not being helpful . . . I trust that nobody will condemn me to terribly badly for roasting her on feedback and charging back her account. If anyone is inclined to point this twit out to EBay as a dealer in counterfeits, the more the merrier I always say. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alextor Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Bill, I admire your sense of adventure...you are a true expeditionary of uncharted waters ...BurberryLucy :yucky: I'd really like to see the pics...!(just for the sake of it) Cheers Alex Well boys and girls, I didn't think it was possible that I could buy a watch like nothing in my collection from BurberryLucy -- but I was wrong.

linc Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I would love to see some pictures of the watch she sent you. I asked her for some but she said she didnt understand me. Glad I didnt take the leap! Thanks for the review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGladeRaider Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I suggested, in no uncertain terms, that the Burberry Bimbette refund my PayPal account forthwith. All I got back was run around. I made it clear to Twit Wit that I would cause her a great deal of grief if she did not comply immediately - all I got was [censored]. Oh well, no regrets, remorse or recriminations -- those who believe in the sacred PayPal account concept, flame on. I have reported each and every fake this twit has for sale on EBAY to EBAY security. I have reported each and every fake this twit has for sale on EBAY to PayPal security. I have filed a complaint with PayPal - "I thought I got an incredible deal on a Rolex, and damned if this thing doesn't have plastic inside and all my friends are laughing at me." I have reached out to various former buyers suggesting that they have someone examine their watches. In sum, I have done my very best to put this brain dead bimbette out of business for giving the rep community a bad name! Bill I would love to see some pictures of the watch she sent you. I asked her for some but she said she didnt understand me. Glad I didnt take the leap! Thanks for the review. Next pics I shoot, I'll snap a couple of these.

mhinagoya Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 That person is absolutely nuts. I have lived 12 out of the last 15 months in Taiwan. I got home last Friday. The government takes a very dim view of knockoffs. I personally know a man that did two years in the federal pen for selling knockoff watches in Taiwan. Their justice system is blind and swift. No plea bargains, no judicial leniency, no appeals, no pardons, nada. There are signs along the freeways and in the airport at Taipei that state: Trafficking in drugs carries the death penalty. Through normal channels, arrest to firing squad is 30 days. I reiterate: The person selling knockoff watches on the Taiwan 'Bay' is crazy. By the way, I have seen some stunning watches in Taiwan, but they aren't cheap. I have seen some junk, too. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
