Does this look right? Particularly the date window doesn't look "magnified enough" to me

sure some experts will be along soon (sooner than expected ^)
but that cyclops looks iffy to me, removed & replaced ??
And hey the sellers bought 12 items this year,
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
cash only on collection, low feedback, terrible lume job. I'd stay well clear
Cash or Bank Transfer only. Totally trustworthy.
and it's not like there aren't a dozen more from good sellers at the drop of a hat
Why would a 16610 even need a relume? Perhaps goes to show only us weirdos like tritium?
Why? There are plenty of honest watches on eBay and PayPal (where available) offers good levels of buyer protection. I've bought many watches on eBay without issue.Originally Posted by henk
To me it looks more like a 6/10 condition where as he is quoting 8/10. Doesn't look terrible to my eye however and I don't think dodgy
Even the cyclops?
Bit of a sweeping statement.
Honestly yes! I ain't no expert though
This one looks a cracker though - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mans-watch...IAAOSw1JVZ5v5g
Alarm bells are ringing.
A shitter at best and a snide at worst.
My best guess is that the dial has had water damage. The lume starts to pop and seep out of the indexes. Based on the photo’s, I would rule out a relume.
Beautiful, I see it has the 'free-floating' chronograph hand complication.....
Presumably that's where you purchase your faecal opinions.
Yes, blooming lume not uncommon — I see it surprisingly often in the new index batons that Rolex have used in the last decade or so.

Nice, learned a new term, thanks for that 👍.
That is brilliant. Reminds me of the fakes that were sold at the local market when I was in my early teens. One even had "Rolox" written on the dial....got to love a nice Rolox
I recently bought a mint Tudor 79090 off eBay for a great price. As long as you protect yourself (pay via paypal, ebay money back guarantee, get the watch checked out properly etc), there's no reason why you can't buy a decent watch on fleabay. If it's too good to be true, if the seller only wants bank transfer/cash etc then use some common sense and walk away.
So it went for £19.... to me!
I have a colleague who wears fake Rolex, Omega and Panerai watches... he thinks people can't tell the different so I thought this would make a nice Christmas present for him!
He has told me his are "Grade A Replica's".... which is presumably a standard/quality stamp issued by the institute of advanced fakery, perhaps. I wonder what grade that one is?
Completely agree with this.
Brilliant! Although you should then destroy it in front of him!

I'd like to destroy some of his other watches, too!
You've been ripped off. It's not even worth £10 for a joke. I'd say the seller and your colleague are the winners.

add to that if the seller won't send a photo with the serial on the watch matching the paperwork next to a newspaper with the current date on it then walk away
also inside caseback and movement shot wouldn't be a miss
but if you feel it doesnt look right then walk way always trust your instinct when you look at so many watches all day
Worth £19 to me for the joke, but eBay have cancelled the transaction anyway.
