Time to play “Spot the Fake”. This one has 25+ bids on eBay so far. From an initial look, the spacing of the text is way off, but I can’t immediately see anything else glaring. Can anyone spot other defects?

Thanks for the link OP - not all of the pictures are even the same watch. Here’s pics 1 and 6 side by side - note the “Oyster Perpetual Date” placement compared to “Rolex.” Pretty clever with mixing in the authentic pics with fakes - none of the authentic ones show the serial number at 6 on the rehaut. You can also see the difference that I noted with the index surrounds - much thicker on the fake, same with the hand stack.

Seller has 1 feedback history on eBay - this is the origin of the saying “buy the seller, not the watch”

There was another Hulk on Chrono24 going for $10k recently and looked very very fake. Not sure if I can find it but the guy was holding it with a Maserati steering wheel as the background.

funny

Sounds to me like a standard photo background for a Hulk owner

What% of watches on joma and Chrono are fake?

Jomashop I imagine pretty close to 0% right?

Yikes... bidding is up to $6100. Hopefully eBay takes it down.

First picture I can only spot the spacing of “oyster perpetual date” beneath the brand logo as “off”. Might even have an original or replacement date track. Pretty good fake on that pic alone.
Green might be a bit off on the bezel, but really hard to tell and depends of the lighting

It was taken down. Hopefully a good lesson learned for anyone who was bidding.

Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Thought/question I have been wondering for a while below.

I am about to start looking for engagement rings…. Thoughts on finding a jeweler that also sells Rolex’s and possibly try to get a bundle deal (looking for spend around 20ish k on the ring and just a datejust for the watch)?

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.
