Hmm, it says boxed with instructions, then it says unboxed no instructions, the dial clearly says automatic but the write up states needs a new battery.
Most odd.
This looks a bit dodgy to me;

Not an expert on monster's as never owned one, but it looks wrong (lugs look totally wrong) and I'm sure this configuration was never available (white dial/stainless case)... Looks like a fake to me :?: apologies of course if I'm wrong.
Cheers, Carl.

I am no expert but the numbers on the bezel look wrong to me.
I've already P.M.'d the seller, it's wrong in every way!
Hands, bezel, dial, case is chromed, etc. etc. battery :shock:
Hopefully will be gone tomorrow!
At least he got the 'monster' part correct :)
Totally wrong :lol:
Nothing like mine, '5's on the bezel among other things
Probably a fake using the same cases as these Miyota quartz powered homages: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=176106
A quick glance and I noticed the seiko font and minute hand not right, never mind the colour combination and a seller who clearly knows nothing about it and had copy and pasted an ad together..
It's an obvious POS.
Clearly not genuine.
Also huge inconsistencies in the description.
Stay away!
How come this is still active on ebay?
I reported it a few days ago saying it was fake, how come its not been pulled? Never reported an item before so not sure...
Also the seller obviously knows as he's been alerted by montrehomme1, so a dishonest seller to boot....
:?

"On July 14, 2008, a Federal District Court judge ruled that eBay does not have a legal responsibility to monitor users selling counterfeit items. In 2010, the Second Circuit affirmed this decision (see Tiffany v. eBay)"
eBay don't pull stuff immediately (or at all). It takes 'enough' people to report a fake to get an item pulled (where 'enough' is some value that is known only to eBay). Also I understand that some people's reports have a higher weighting than others.Originally Posted by j4ckal
I often feel that it's deeply unsatisfactory that eBay don't provide more feedback to those who report dodgy auctions about why some things don't get withdrawn.
**edit**
P.S. And as other have mentioned, it is not in eBay's financial interest to withdraw auctions...
this one chrono?

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Speaking of the Monster and wrong, have you guys ever seen this Invicta?
...and pretty much the price of a Monster too.
Having already, politely pointed out the error of his ways, and the FACT that he is peddling a fake,
I had a reply which stated:- "thank you for your message, I shall let the boss know", it's still for sale,
so one assumes, the boss don't care!
I had considered placing a large bid on it, and reporting him on receipt of the FAKE!, but having shown
my hand already, seems a little vindictive :mrgreen:
The truth will out!
Totally wrong, why fake a monster when they are not so expensive to buy?
