I'm thinking of swapping my silver Aquaracer dial for a blue one. This one is on eBay but the font is slightly different. Looking specifically at the s'es in Swiss. And the letter spacing.

my freaken account got taken down, so that I can prove my items are authentic. WTF. What a slap in the face. Working directly with the team that handles fakes, and spending hours of my own time for free to help ebay, and I get taken down??? After 16 years of being on ebay, and not even once having them question my items. This has got to be some real class A grand cosmic joke. I mean, just something that should only happen in movies. This is laughable.

Most likely the doings of one of your new found enemies.

it seems like, if ebay is telling the truth, they were doing a massive purging, because of the uptick in fakes lately. Which is the great cosmic prank being played on me. That all my hard work to take down fakes, got me dragged down right along with it. And if I never did any of this, ebay wouldn't be as cautious. Tell me that's not some Shakespearean poetic irony right there.

I concur. You have been playing with fire recently, @jamesbizs, by threatening the criminal's 'business'.

Morning All,

I've been looking online for pictures of this watch and it's not something that I've been able to find very easily online. I take it this one is a fake?

Hi Aquagraph,

Thanks for your reply. Think I've found out for myself as well just a moment ago from taking the back off to revel a Japanese quartz movement inside and not a Swiss quartz movement.

That's the other way of doing it! 👍

Usually lol but as we’ve seen, fakes use real movements too.

Oh, lol we are going to be a dicks are we?.

You do it so well, why stop?

It’s clear you enjoy a good rant.

I stand by my point that telling someone to buy a watch and then send it away to Tag for checking it’s not a fake is not a smart move unless you have money to flush away.
