$25.  If it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

another way to look at this is it's a small price to pay for a lesson in what not to do in the future. 

other thing is the look at is it's not being sold in a watch category. Anything that even resembles a real Rolex goes from way more money and a seller would be so stupid to sell the real Rolex for $25 in a strange category that alone tells you that it's probably not legit. Plus one look at the back you can tell that's not legit at all.

then anything that's of this quality in other words you can't tell that's real or fake that definitely will not go for $25 either. Super fakes are so good that even though a lot of the experts are fooled but at that level you're looking at still thousands of dollars. The only way he can ever get a Rolex off of eBay for $25 of it was lost in the junk box because anything that has the word Rolex honest and is properly advertised and marketed will not go for $25.

not always true? in the old days before eBay cut into everything people used to sell other ways. Like local chapters of the nawcc usually would have a Mart at their meeting. Actually they still do in a law the chapters people who'd sell miscellaneous stuff they don't want to sell on eBay. Several years ago somebody was liquidating one of the chapter members collection after they died and they were trying to make money. So I went through the box I did purchase a Rolex for $25 it was labeled as fake. The pack was loose so I could look inside and reason it was deemed to be a fake is it said one jewel and the spelling was funny. But that wasn't the spectacular by for me the Omega flight master and $45 was a better deal. Plus several other watches.

The earlier Rolex watches with the automatic the automatics sometimes didn't have jewels or in this case had one jewel for the automatic. The movement had 19 and it really was a real Rolex. But the seller really didn't care he was just liquidating the collection to fellow collectors and eBay wasn't prominent otherwise it would've probably log on the eBay.

But that's not the best deal I ever heard of. One of my friends cleans a law office and one of the attorneys the father had died. Send it up with three watches none of which he apparently liked so they put all three in the trash. So she ended up with a free Rolex watch but as early Rolex watches like mine unlike hers there in smaller cases are not as popular today they don't have the black dials they don't have the ring around the outside there's still Rolex is still worth hundreds of dollars and hers wasn't running needed to be repaired. Fortunately she was working in a watch repair shop at the time somebody repaired for free. So yes you really can get super good deals occasionally your lifetime but probably not on eBay and this definitely would not qualify as a deal of a lifetime other than a lesson of what not do with your money.

It's clearly a fake, don't pay if you win the auction. The seller knows this and is trying to con you. I think the "Rolex-Oyster" in the title might have got past any automated checks ebay might make (if they make any!)

Yup...I was thinking the same thing.

Something seems fishy about this thread. New member on forum posts what he things is a super deal in an ongoing ebay auction, knowing that there are true watch enthusiasts reading the posts (the reason for posting here!!).  If this WERE a real Rolex, the other members (some of them perhaps) would engage in the bidding war and the price would go up.

You should go ahead and pay if you win.  Then when you get it, **BLEEP** to Ebay and give the seller a bad review.

And send it back for a refund. I wouldn't bother paying if I were you, save yourself the hassle.

hey im sorry man sometimes i dont think about that

[HectorLooi]

Hey guys! Be nice. Aden is only 15. 

[watchweasol]

Hi Aden  every one is capable of mistakes, but no one sells a rolex for 25$ so  if you are not sure on anything ask before you buy. There are some well informed members on the forum who would help Iam sure.   So write this one off to experience and learn from the mistake.    cheers
