There's 2 identical Etsy listings from the USA for a watch that was listed on eBay in Italy in late November. Sure, it could be that someone is selling a £5k watch for £6/900 in 2 different places and decided to use the same photos from eBay but probably not! Have reported them both.

I recall a thread I started of a fraudulent 2998 for sale on Esty for a mere 900.00 USD awhile back... last place I would consider buying a collectible timepiece, maybe knitted baby socks

In my experience, Etsy really won’t care, but it’s good to do anyway.

One man’s knitted baby socks are another man’s watch rolls

But Etsy has blue Speedy bezel inserts for less than $100 - it has to be legit, no?

It used to be. Now its just Amazon 2.0 with some homemade stuff thrown in. You can look at listings on Etsy and find the same exact items on Amazon for cheaper.

Or eBay direct from the factory floor
