lukeas123456 0 Posted August 31, 2016 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152210544433 Morning Guys. Something about this doesn't look right I have the rep. The box is putting me into a sense that it may be a rep. And the watch there's just something about it but I can't put my finger on it. May be wrong but what do you guys think?

carter23 2 Posted August 31, 2016 Its not the box that it should have come with... and the missing warranty cards/papers are concerning. Its hard to tell because the rep of this is so close to gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted August 31, 2016 End link fit is off TUDOR engraving on the clasp is not right... Bracelet is 100% rep Lugs look a bit too sharp Box looks rep to me... I'll go out on a limb and say this is completely fake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted August 31, 2016 I've mailed the seller, lets see if he does the right thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted August 31, 2016 Seems to deal predominantly in coins and jewellery. Likely doesn't know anything about watches, does mention he "guarantees it's authenticity". If anyone was buying this they'd be mad not to request authentication first from an AD, it appears to me he probably thinks it's genuine and is not actually trying to scam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_frenchman 31 Posted August 31, 2016 The advertise doesn't say its genuine , not even in the title. He knows perfectly this is not gen ! Why? My conclusion : because he says " i guarantee it's authenticity" . No one wrights this kind of shit on a watch sale. He knows perfectly if paypal goes for him after a dispute he will declare that he has not enough knowledge in watches or experience in this field, so thats why he said " i guarantee...".

Wriggles 12 Posted August 31, 2016 ^^^^this makes no sense. Why would anyone state they guarantee anything if their plan for defence in case of being challenged is to claim insufficient knowledge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukeas123456 0 Posted August 31, 2016 The box is what go me going. Then the fact of no paper work. I have the Rep, and I'v seen the gen and they are hard to tell apart but this i think has fake all over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamsonAusKognito 31 Posted August 31, 2016 Please don't kill me for asking, I just want to understand ... why is it a thing to call out these Ebay scammers? If anyone wants a gen, they should know the risk about buying from a private person. If somebody buys the watch I doubt their passion for the watch, cause they haven't seen the issue. And don't getting your Alarm bells ringing when reading ,,... authentic" makes me feel bad for the innovent, naive person... maybe that's reason? To secure them from spending the Money wrong?

To secure them from spending the Money wrong? none of us here would ever attempt to sell a rep as the gen, we buy them for what they are, they're not to fool people its gen. It gives what we do a very bad name, scamming people is not what were about. a hard line is taken against anyone who tries to fob off a rep as gen, that includes eBay sellers. As Stewart has mentioned many of us have been scammed before and take a very dim view of it. And hey its a bit of fun calling them out, maybe we have saved somebody from a lot of heartache. Anyone who considers this needs to be dragged out and given a good hiding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted August 31, 2016 He's replied, seems like a genuine guy says he's taking it down until he can have it properly checked... Like has already been said the reps are bloody good so if you don't know what to look for then its easy to miss it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_frenchman 31 Posted August 31, 2016 Well..... Looks like the guy did know what he was selling.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted August 31, 2016 Well..... Looks like the guy did know what he was selling.... 'Xactly he's a dealer in fancy shiny things and thought he'd done a good deal on a watch he could make a profit on, most people have no clue just how good the reps are. He did tell me he has the details of the guy he got it off so hopefully he can get his money back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
