1655 eBay scam

[rwgforumfan]

New account with 0 feedback and doesn't take PP over $10k. Can't think of a better seller to buy a 1655 from. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Explorer-II-ref-1655-Steve-McQueen-Orange-Hand-/281137728533?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item41751d4c15

Wow the guys going all in. Lol hes got 3 high end watches up with zero feedback. There 42 bids on the 1655. So man dumb f-ing people in this world. Im not gonna even report him.

The pictures are of a Gen MK1 with a service bezel and a later solid link bracelet which is a pretty common thing to have replaced when they were serviced by Rolex. Whether he own's it or not is a different issue i guess

I am no 1655 expert, but at least the bracelet and the dial look genuine, I'ver never seen a frogfoot rep dial.

The pictures are of a Gen mk1 1655, correct frog mouth coronet for the T SWISS T dial. The only one that comes close is ingodd44 as pictured

Week that one is gone now. He may have ended the auction early as he did say it was also offered locally for sale. He still has one live auction, and that ones up the 12k.

I would never buy from someone with zero feedbacks. Unless you can view the watches locally, pass!

If I'm suspicious, I ask for a picture of the [item] with a spoon, or a remote control. No way a pic exists like that in the wild, and it shows that they are paying attention.

I like that!

I spoke to guys in the Rolex forum. They said that the pics are from gens but they are stolen pics from a member there.
