Counterfeit Grand Seiko on eBay.

[Loki324]

I was looking at a few watches on ebay and came across this really bad fake:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266822430...Bk9SR5zM5MfzYw

I've reported it on ebay but they refuse to take it down. The seller has very good feedback (1000+), yet they sell fake watches. The movement looks so bad compared to the real thing which makes it so obvious. I feel bad for the people bidding on this watch.

Wow, Date window seems chucked aside.

At least it's got a genuine Seiko movement in it, albeit about fifty quids worth of NH39 with a fake GS rotor.

Don’t be mean now when it’s his deceased daddy’s watch. You can’t have better provenance than that.

I didn’t realise that these were faked. I’ve reported it to eBay too

That is one big POS.

When did you report it OP? I've found them quite responsive in the past. Anyway I've also done so, you'd hope that a volume of reports makes a difference.

Also reported - even I can see it's a Rong 'un!

Also reported it.

Listing has ended but not deleted.

Going by the other stuff he is selling he might be a member here. 🤔

It's gone now, probably to be relisted...

If the price crossed £1500, would it have gone through the authentication service? I suspect not but am curious.

It was reported yesterday at around 6pm, clearly stating it was counterfeit. They responded by saying its not against their policy.

Yep, that's correct. They'd (hopefully) have spotted its dodginess.
