Crazy Bob needs to get his story straight. Said it is a 78 Explorer, date on punched papers show purchase date of 4/07/87 . I doubt it sat in a Rolex dealers safe for 9 years. However a 5 mil serial is consistent with 1978.Bracelet is wrong and endlinks look like rep 580's. I don't know a thing about Explorers as I have personally never liked them. I'm a GMT fan. I don't know any of the tells on the watch itself. That's why I'm extra cautious about buying from a seller with no reputation because I could get duped just like the next sucker.

I would suppose that unscrupulous sellers can buy authentic looking punched papers, just like everything else, watch, boxes ,booklets, hang tags, etc. This is really a problem, because many folks myself included would be less skeptical of a watch that has all the "Stuff" with it. I know that finding boxes, hang tags and booklets are fairly easy, but I've personally never seen a faked Punched paper.

I wouldn't buy a watch off Ebay, unless I knew it was a trusted seller, ironclad reasonable return option, and lots of good clear photos including movement photos. Surely not 7500.00 for a watch from a seller with a feedback of 4, none of them sales and all purchases for low dollars (Most 83.00 USD)

ebay member since sept17, 2010... all (4) his feedback is from buying junk and ZERO feedback as a buyer... I would be SHOCKED if the winning bidder receives a real Rolex

CrazyBob did OK on that one. $8400!

[Watchmeister]

It only takes one. And I have been that one at least once although many years ago and not for $8k.

Unbelievable. I am no expert, but this piece is obviously fishy and 22 bids and a "winner" at $8,400

Ebay should hire experts from the rep sites and pay them to patrol their sales post.
