Here's the latest franken "UG" on the 'bay.

It's got everything you could possibly want in a watch, including:

- Dual tachometer/tachymetre scales
- Lots of caseback numbers

I love mine but I paid much more plus service. Cleaner dial however.

And communication with the seller has been...challenging

I don't have any insight on the watch itself, but remember: buy the seller. If you can't communicate with them well, don't trust them with your money.

Excellent advice- Based on some posts on the Rolexforum, the seller appears elgit- but uncommunicative and morose

Too small for me, but was curious what you guys think of its originality / authenticity:

Nice enough piece (though no movement shot) signed crystal, but boy - those kind of prices hurt. It hasn't been that long since i've checked ebay (say, about 6 months). Is it me or have things been escalating rather quickly?

I have kinda been keeping an eye on these prices for the last couple months. SS with Black dials have gone up the most, between 25-50%. G filled/capped/plates only seem to be about 15-20% more and solid golds are about the same. (Note this is just a generalized observation, not statistical/calculated)

Does this mean it'll be harder for me to get one of yours?! 馃檨
