    I particularly like the hand engraved serial number on the back of the lug - pure class.

    Weird thing is, he does have thousands of sales, and has a huge inventory but now I'm wondering how much of that is legit based on this one. If you're a dealer on that scale and you either a) Can't tell a real watch from a fake or b) Don't vet your sources enough to keep fakes out of your supply chain, you're really playing Russian roulette with your business.

    looks like a legit seamaster that someone has installed a bezel from the Vancouver 2010 LE. I can't see anything wrong with the serial number engraving.

    Have a closer look at the Seahorse engraving comparing it to any other known Seamaster Co-Axial, the entire shape of the seahorse

    On the right is a 2220.80 Seamaster Co-Axial seahorse, left is the ebay item, note the bottom of the "saddle" of the seahorse, the poorly defined rather than sharp outline around it, the poorly defined edge of the loop of its tail, the softness of all the edges and differences in shape.

    The right hand case back is defiantly more sharper and more defined, compared to the one on the left ..what about the lazar etched logo ?

    This guy clearly doesn't know he has a fake. Someone should point that out to him.
