This is being sold on eBay as gen. Help newbies?

[dusk]

The box, paperwork and service docs were 'lost in floods'

This looks like an imitation (to me?) that is being sold for half value of genuine. Just as an aid to newbies to watches could someone break it down? Description is bleating in about dishonest people which must raise suspicion. I've just ordered two reps but i paid rep price which is fantastic. Thoughts on this?

Description:

Rolex Submariner, Vintage. (year 2000) Unfortunately papers & box lost in recent floods. This is a genuine Rolex Submariner which I have had from new in 2000. It was serviced and polished in 2008 and has been worn almost everyday I have owned it. (Service papers also lost) It is being sold, reluctantly, due to financial circumstances. (It has been re-listed as the previous buyer was trying to conduct a fraudulent transaction, therefore no e-mails or offers will be excepted outside of eBay). Yet again relisted due to 2 bogus offer. Please, serious offers only!

See how off-center the pearl is? Insert looks like [censored] to me.

Watch looks gen to me- old style 703 crown w/ the tall crown emblem, bezel insert is correct for 2000 yr, dial is right and crown guards look good. Correct 93150 bracelet also

Interesting two opinions? Pearl looked off to me too? Camera/ lighting?

If gen could this be a bargain?

I'm a relative newbie and that bezel pearl tells the whole story for me. No way is that a gen. If it is, I have reps that are better! ;-)

In my opininion the watch is definately Gen.

Dial, Crownguards, Crown Position, diameter of Lugholes look/are gen.

I think its just the angle of the pics that make pearl look strange.

If the price is low, it will be a bargain, maybe it's a stolen watch

Here's a random circa 2000 no date I found on a search that had papers. I saw some differences

£2,750 is a big gamble if it's a rep though.

For the record I think it's gen, where it's selling from there was heavy flooding recently, so it would make sense.

its gen

[dusk]

If gen 100% is £2750.00 a good price for a 2000? I'd prefer a date version but it would be difficult at this money

Looking again, the lug holes and crown shape do look really good. I still don't like the insert.

Just ask for a movement pic.

Insert looks fine for an early lughole model.  It is different from a late model insert.  The 2 is very different.

Being sold as gen because it is. Had a gen one a few years back. Inserts gen just the lighting. And $4500 is not a deal. It's actually on the high side for this model.

Do your homework guys. There has never been a good rep of the 14060. This watch is legit.
