shows the fakers are learning .....
even invented a "correct" 1947 serial number, but stamped serial & ref. numbers do NOT looks like they've been engraved by a hen.

import code is for Eisner, importers of Alpina etc.

shame ebay won't act on these fraud attempts, afraid it will sell.

we'll try to keep learning. but "good" Rolex fakes are close to impossible to call, even for experts - Breitling prices are probably still too low for the real talent to take notice.
