Even @ 10 for 1 it would be a rip off.

 

Almost tempted to grab one and take it into a gen Rolex dealer for a service!! :lmao:

I kinda like the tuna can thing it comes in! Very different from the boring old green Rolex boxes! :D

....I know, it's sweet touch eh!!

 

Still at least you can be safe in the knowledge it's 'swiss made' ;)

That's very similar to a Priceangels ad without the watermarks but with the watch logos. The can is very Priceangels.

..........it gets better....................here's an ad from another guy who's got a thriving business selling 'custom made' submariners for just £299...................

.....all looked quite promising on pic 1 but when we get to pics 7 and 8 it's all gone a bit pear-shaped!! Looks like an alu bezel and of course no details on movement (bet my right arm it's 21j) and no lume shots.

 

Some people, I ask you!!

I Like the free tin of travel sickness sweets - maybe so you you don't puke up when you receive it in the post.

Wonder what Gumtree's policy is on this? Report it?

No idea Hornet, I've never bought through Gumtree. I would say definitely worth reporting the muppet with his custom made shit though, that's a pretty serious rip in my opinion!

I say fuck it, if someone is stupid enough to buy it thinking it is legit, the lesson they learn will be worth a lot more than the 50 quid (isn´t that what you guys say, quid?)....

Funny this topic has just come up.

 

The missus is on one of those local Facebook buy & sell group things, and theres a chap selling Rolex's from Batmans to Subs for £50.

 

Being the curious fella I am, I asked her to message him to ask what movement, and no word of a lie this was his response:-

 

"It's perpetual, you just shake it and it moves" - So she asked what movement, he said Swiss.

 

I then replied "For £50 mate, the chances are it's a 21j cheapie, so I'll pass"

 

Then his latest reply is "It says swiss on the watch. I've never taken of the back"

:lmao:

 

.....totally agree with you on the 50 quid one, you'd have to be clinically insane to buy that!! The other though looks like a blatant scam to me.................

 

@ V ....................now that is fuckin hilarious!!

See if you can spot the difference between pic no. 1 and pic no. 2 !! :giggle:

 

I know it's only £50 but geez, I've seen better canal st pieces than this. Not even worth a fiver :lmao:

 

:lmao: it reminds me of Benny Hill whenever they sub a stunt man into a skit who's a completely different body shape/size. :lmao:!!!!!!!

to be fair to this guy he does state its an eta movement and that he has 3 blue subs in stock.... although it appears one is actually a gmt not a sub

I actually have one of those from an Archive PAM copy I picked up for less than a tenner...

 

Shall I sell it on as a Rolex box?

Hmmm that look truly crap.

 

They sell the same ones for £20 in that area of Manchester (near Strangeways Prisons) where they sell all the fake clothes.
