Rolexman Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Marktplaats.nl is a Dutch holding of Ebay.com I think I saw this pic in one of your posts right By-Tor?? Edited April 25, 2006 by Rolexman
By-Tor Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Yes it is. And not even one of my best shots. Good observation, thanks. Personally, I don't care, just find it rather hilarious. Previously scammers used pictures of genuine watches, at least this guy uses picture of a rep.

By-Tor Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Not being able to read Dutch is the seller trying to pass this off as gen? Ken For 350 Euros? I seriously doubt it. "Swiss" probably refers to ETA movement. And besides: if he did, I think he would have stolen picture of a gen, eh? You never know though.
Rolexman Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) No, he's not trying to pass it off as a gen. The add says: "Only the best of the best. Swiss 25-jewels ETA 2836 movement. Genuine sapphire crystal. All the right marks at the right spot. Also other different Omega models available. E-mail me for more information. All E-mails will be answered within 24 hours. Phonecalls only between 5 AM and 5 PM" Selling price Euro 350,- Edited April 25, 2006 by Rolexman
ehtolcad Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 350 euro, huh? someone's about to be taken for a ride on that one...
slay Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) supply and demand, of ppl pay that much, why not sell it for that much? or do you really think what we pay for the reps is what they are worth? Edited April 26, 2006 by slay
Guest sjako Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 Guys, I actually had some E-mail contact with this guy some time ago. He gave me some solid advice... Not to buy from any of the scammer sites who sell Grade 1... (found this board only a little later and bought a rollie from Josh ) Seller was the first to mention to me that there is no such thing as Grade 1... The Guy sells reps. Maybe at a bit of a high price, but he also mods them (clean the movement, tighten the becel and all the rest of it). However... posting stolen pics does not boost his credit... It is just to hard to find a good dealer in the Netherlands.... Guess I'm back to Josh
