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.

This is the sixth time someone has listed this same watch and pictures with a contact me at a gmail or hotmail account outside eBay with a low buy it now price. The same watch was posted yesterday on a different seller's account before I reported it to eBay. I took a screen shot of the time before and when you contact them they want all of your Paypal info to start the buy it now process. The scary part is these are legitimate sellers that they are listing these items under. I saw over 125 high end items ranging from jewelry, electronics, to bikes listed all on the same day with the same buy it now info for $2,000 that were removed from one seller.

Oh boy. Here we go again.

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.

What do you guys think of this one?

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. 🤨 I'm throwing up a little in my mouth as I write this. 👎

Seller claims the dial is original, but it looks a bit suspiciously clean

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.
