Apparently I was too distracted at the time to post the link, and now I can't find it. It was a bracelet with UTC module that the listing described as "aftermarket".

Found it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320829917435?ss ... 1423.l2649

Maybe it's real, and the seller just doesn't know?

It's not real, and the seller knows it.
That's why he uses a word "aftermarket".

Not that many but they seem most commonly used on the Chrono Avenger.

Sometimes the 180 engraving on the bezel is wrongly upside down, as in this example. But not sure if this applies in all cases.

Compare the real one below with the fake. 180 is the wrong way round on the fake.
