    I'm absolutely not familiar with Rolex, but this one looks weird, indeed.

    I saw this and wondered the exact same thing. A fool and his money...

    I wonder if any part of it is legit. Unfortunately, there are no photos of the inside.

    Look up Rick from “Pawn Stars” video on spotting a fake Rolex. Rolex are sticklers for perfection .. if it’s not perfect, it’s fake.

    If it’s just hands... it’s a steal at that price.

    Well, the dial and bezel are also pretty terrible.

    I think the bezel came from a 1957 Captain Midnight watch. And don't get me started on eBay sellers who put "Steve McQueen" in the title......

    I have not the best experience reporting watches to ebay, personally.

    Will it work if this one is posted in the common fake thread here?

    I must also be missing something..maybe the dial is rare and the rest of it is junk?

    YES TO THIS! McQueen is famous for wearing a Submariner, a Speedking, and a Monaco.

    If nothing else makes sense it could be money laundering

    ebay is good with their money back guarantee, if it is indeed fake (90% sure here) they can simply file a chargeback and usually are not required to send it back since it is a counterfeit item and that is against the law to send through the mail.

    Apart from the case and crown which I don't have enough photos to judge, everything else appears "not original".

    Shill/fake bidding perhaps?

    I appreciate how the counterfeiter didn’t take the time to glue the magnifying Cyclopes dead center over the date wheel. This off-centered look really counter balances the Dremel tooled bezel number engravings. Amazing.
