    It does look very much like a Submariner that was born with an El Primero movement

    Yes. And as such it is damned near the perfect watch.

    I called eBay last week about the same scam on another buyer's listings. Notice quite a few of this buyer's listings all started the same day, are high end items, and have the same buy it now message. This buyer has legitmate listings but somehow the scammers are highjacking a sellers listings with all of these scam listings.

    Watch season is also scam season.

    I am by no means an expert on the divers but there is something about the colour of the bezel that troubles me. MMMD has one like that but his bezel is quite a bit darker, so less contrast with the dial. I guess either Lou or MMMD will be along shortly to shoot me down.

    I was comparing to MMMD's too. It looks suspicious. Can discolouration do that to the bezel?

    Not here to shoot you down, only to build you up. These watches change appearance in mercurial fashion with changes in lighting. Unfortunately, I don't have the advantage of having mine in hand right now - it's at the watchmaker's for a little cannon-pinion tightening - but I have a few photos. If anything, I think the bezel is quite close in color to mine, but the dial is darker. I notice the eBay diver has lost the little bezel lume pearl at 12 o'clock.
    Here's mine again, in two different lights:

    Why don't we take the world's first truly awesome automatic chronograph and remove the auto-wind feature. Then let's chintz it up with some 20 micron gold plating. ::screwloose:: I'm throwing up a little in my mouth as I write this. :thumbsdown:

    I would like this one at a price closer to $1750. It looks legit to me. A little wear on the tachy ring, but quite nice overall. I've heard a lot of caveat emptor about this seller, but this one doesn't raise my hackles.

    No, not me. But here's a recent photo of me after seeing a Chronomaster at a BIN price of $1500. Dennis - avert your eyes.

    Well that certainly explains the rumors around the hospital.
