Here is a photo of pip and the dial itself in good quality. Everything seems to be ok..

I think the words you were looking for, was " everything seems to be very bad".

I know that these screws are not mandatory, but I still want to hear the opinion of those who know more about it
oh no no, the screws are absolutely mandatory. Only time it would not have it, is if someone removed them and forgot to put them back in. And honestly, you might not want a watch from a person like that anyways.

After reading the messages here, I wore the watch to the master, where he disassembled the bracelet. The tubes and pins themselves are as in the original, with two notches. The watchmaker is experienced, knows which ones should be there. He liked everything... I'm just worried about the fact that the person I bought the watch from has many such models and is much cheaper than the official price. Plus a set of watches, like good copies with all tags, stickers and a card. The bracelet of the watch was also in a thick film. I'm afraid maybe I have a super fake?
I really need to see these pics, because I've NEVER seen a fake with the two notches. And a film is fine. What's not fine, is plastic wrap.

And this is a photo of Aquaracer, in a titanium case, which was bought from an official dealer. Although many people told me that the color of the plastic ring around the movement does not matter, I am interested in why one movement is fixed with screws, and the others are not, if it is the same manufacturer?
The screws aren't the manufacturer. They ALL come with screws. Otherwise the movement/dial would just shake around. Screws holding the movement down are absolutely mandatory. Period. The plastic ring takes up the empty space in the case, and is tight. The movement and dial have to be screwed to that, so that they become one piece.

Because it is mega fake 😁. I wonder why it's so damn hard for them to make it look good. How much more work can it possibly take? I guess we are lucky they are so lazy huh.

I think he decided to return the watch.
and is too embarrassed to come back? lol.I think he doesn't give a crap about what we had to say, and just left because he doesn't believe us and thinks he was wasting his time. Easy to way to check tho. Does the seller now have a negative feedback?

Edit. Oh hey, he does.
https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/thoande-8619?commentType=NEGATIVE&user_context=BUYER

Tho I don't recall if that was there before.

Edit. And the comment seems way more informed than the OP. about things we didn't even discuss.

Edit. NVM. YOU brought up the flush crystal. So maybe it was him. Just can't imagine why he didn't come back. Or why the seller cares about replying to the negative feedback, when he's clearly done selling watches.

I removed the link from the second Aquaracer. Did I understand correctly that I have 100% fake?

I think you now know enough to have made the obvious checks yourself. How did they turn out?

Did I understand correctly: The black watch has the wrong screws? (They don't look like they should look?)

Do you mean the titanium one? No, not that I can see. I was only commenting on these watches always having screws. You had asked why some have screws and some don't, if it's the same manufacturer.

THO, this is the first time I've seen the fake AUTOMATICS, not have screws. That's just dumb and lazy. That will just lead to you having issues with the watch sooner, and potentially having the buyer realize they were sold a fake.

No such thing as not getting your money back on ebay lol. Open a return within the correct time, and the correct reasons, and you're good to go. In this case, he doesn't accept returns. So open it as not as described. Otherwise they can deny the return.

Hi James , thank you for the advice! Also called ebay and they said that a return barcode was sent to me as the seller accepts returns , however i said that i do not trust the seller anymore and ask what would happen if trying to pull a fast one ex: parcel did not arrive, or damaged , or whatever on return . They said once i send and get confirmation will get the money bk regardless….so my question is now …can i send him a bag of shit instead of his toy watch

Yes, yes you can. Which is why I have a couple dozen fakes 😁. They should NOT be able to sell it to someone else. Then again, the guy has a ton of them, that he probably buys for $100-200. But still, the more money you cost them, the better. I sent one guy a box of 20lbs of dirt 😁. Which he had to pay shipping for. teeheehee

I must say, as a seller, this is concerning. So someone just tells eBay the (real) watch I sell them is fake and then they can just blow me off?

correct. Well, 95% of the time. Like if they have a history of this. Ebay does help sellers sometimes too, after the buyer gets their money back. It's still very rare tho. And obviously I'm only suggesting doing this to SCAMMERS. Scammers also usually don't fight back. The squeaky wheel gets the grease....
