RichardMiami 4 Posted August 14, 2014 What I suspect is that the eBay review is seeing both the reports of infringement AND the bids. They might be thinking that the bids make the sale legitimate. After all, who would bid $20k on a fake watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Higs 73 Posted August 14, 2014 What I suspect is that the eBay review is seeing both the reports of infringement AND the bids. They might be thinking that the bids make the sale legitimate. After all, who would bid $20k on a fake watch? I would hope in a common-sense world, that big bids on a suspect watch would make Ebay more wary, not less. They risk someone getting seriously burnt on their site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormyNight 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Why are people reporting it to Rolex? Is there purely because he's trying (not very well!) to pass a fake off as gen? Surely reporting to Rolex is unnecessarily opening up a can of worms regarding fakes, etc. Dunno! Not really bothered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely reporting to Rolex is unnecessarily opening up a can of worms regarding fakes, etc. Dunno! Not really bothered Think about it from a few angles: 1. If anyone can convince eBay that the offer is indeed fake, it is Rolex 2. Rolex probably has more clout with eBay than any of us do 3. The "can of worms" about fake Rolexes on eBay and elsewhere has been wide open for many years. Nothing new there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormyNight 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Guess so. Was just curious as, to me, it seems a bit contradictory that a rep wearer would report a rep watch but, obviously, it's a whole different ball game when someone tries to sell on as gen. I still want to "win" it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
